Cuculus megarhyiic/ius Gray, P.Z.S. 18.i8. pp. 184, I'Jo (Aru Islands). 



? ; Kiimnsi River, May 17, 1907. (No. 2963.) 



" Iris brown, feet slaty bine, bill black." 



Tbi8 specimea differs very much from the type of megarhjnchm from the Aru 

 Islands. It is cinnamon above, tinged with grey on the rnmp, and faintly barred 

 with blackish on the npi)er wing- and tail-coverts ; tail and wings cinnamon-brown, 

 outer rectrices with black bars, underside cinnamon, paler on throat and abdomen, 

 and faintly barred with ashy grey. The bird is evidently immature, and might 

 perhaps be the young of 7?/. meyarhijnchm, with which it agrees in shape and size.
