Tim sjiecimcns from Bablier agree in all ossoiitial characters with Corciis 

 latlroiilris from Timorhiut (Teiiimber), but they are somewhat laru'er. They 

 measure : c? ad. wing SoU, S ail. wing 342, ¥ ail. wiug 318, ? ail. wing 310 mm., 

 while specimens from Timorlaut measure S ad. wing 328, 6 ad. wing 317, ¥ ad. 

 wiug 322, ¥ jun. wing about 3U0 mm. 



Possibly the Timorlaut specimens are not all correctly sexed. If we accei)t 

 that the alleged males are all adnlt males, the Babber form would be a larger, 

 and should be separated subspecifically, but I should like to see a better series 

 before doing this. 



Mr. Kiihu's four e.xample.s from Tepa bear the Nos. 6611, 6023, 0027, 0004. 

 The iris is described as white, bill aud feet black. In Xoc. Zool. 19U1. jip. 173, 

 174, I have discussed this form, which has ignite erroneously been united with 

 C. macrorltijnchas. 



ON THE BIRDS OE LUANG. 



By Dii. ERNST IIAETERT. 



WE had hoped that Mr. Kiihu's collectors, after their work on Baiiber, would 

 visit the large island of Hermatta, but unfortunately they chose the little 

 islet of Luaug, near Sermatta. They collected there 41 S2)ecies of birds, mostly of 

 little interest to iis. Undoubtedly Sermatta would contain many more species.

 7072, 7076, 7093, 7096, 7097). It is interesting to find that P. c. lettieitsis and not 

 ottotiis is found on Luang.

6. Geloc/telidonlnilotica (Gm.) (Nov. Zool. 1904. p. 199) (No. 7021). This bird, 

 marked S, is very young. It appears to be the European small-billed form, 

 and not macrotarsa. Adult birds should, however, be compared, to be certain 

 about this.
