G. melanops has not previously been recorded from any of the islands of N.W. New Guinea, although it was obtained by Wallace as far north as Amboina.

Graucalus papuensis, Salvad. op. cit. vol. ii. p. 132. a, b. 8. Mysol. c. 2- Mysol. d. 3 • Salwatti. e. 2 1 Jobi (Bruijn). Iris brown ; bill black ; tarsus brownish black. Length 28*6- 30*2 centims., wing 14*5-15*3. If the label of the bird obtained from Mr. Bruijn be correct, Jobi is apparently new as a locality for this species. It does not differ from the others. The sex is given as $, but no doubt erroneously, as the forehead and lores are jet-black. 81. EDOLIISOMA MELAN (S. Mull.).
