It is very doubtful if timorlaoensis is separable! Unfortunately we have no 

 specimens from Timorlaut, but the breast is sometimes quite white in Australian 

 examples, while Meyer states this to be the distingnishing feature of timorlaoensis t 

 The altogether very bad and misleading iigure in the Zeitschr. ges. Orn. does not 

 show a quite white breast.

In my former articles I have treated Lalage timoriensis as a species. Mr. 

 Arthur Goodson called my attention to the great similarity between L. tricolor 

 (Australia) and timoriensis. There is indeed not a very great diftereuce between 

 the two. The white superciliary line, though mostly present and very distinct in 

 timoriensis, is sometimes indistinct and even absent. The white edges to the 

 primaries are often wider in timoriensis, but as they wear off in time this feature 

 is difficult to determine. The wing in timoriensis is shorter and much less pointed 

 than in tricolor. Otherwise the two forms agree entirely, and we must treat them 

 as subspecies in future.

" Iris coffee-brown, feet slate, bill plumbeous, below greyish." 



We have received only two specimens of the Zosterops from Sermatta. These 

 are not in good condition, but there cannot be much doubt that they belong to 

 Z. letti ensis. 



In Nov. Zool. 1906, p. 300, I erroneously called the birds from Babber, Luang, 

 and Roma " Zosterops bassetti," but 1 now come to the conclusion that the Dammer 

 form (bas.'it'tti) is darker green above and somewhat more brownish nnderiieath, 

 tlie form from Babber, Sermatta, Luang, Moa, Letti, and Kisser being of a more 

 yellowish green above, especially on the head, and more whitish below. 



The specimens from Roma agree also with lettiensis, though it almost appears
