 :5.'). Eurystoinus orientalis (L.)- 



A pair iVoin njaiiiiica. I consider them to be tvpical A', orienliiiis. (Sep Meyer 

 A Wig!., t.c. No. 2, |i. 13) 



:>(!. Cuculus iutermedius \'aiil. 



Saleyer, Djampea, Kalao. Adult in grey plumage, all marked " male" some 

 young; females in grey as well as in rufous plumage. In one adult male wing 7'9.j 

 inches long. (See Shelley, Cat. B. XIX. pp. 241 ff.) 



37. Centropus javanicus Dumont. 



Djampea and Kalao. r?. "his elioeulate-lirown." ?. "Iris dark brown" 

 (Djampea). 



:')8. Cacatua sulphurea ((im.). 



Two femalea from Djampea seem to belong to this speeies, though the billj are 

 very small. They measure only 2-1 mm. from end of cere to tip. The wings 223 to 

 230 mm. They are exactly like Celebes specimens, except for the small size of the 

 bills, and the\' do not belong to C. parvida from the Timor group, which liardlv 

 dei-erves more than subspecitic rank, though it certainly is not the same as C. didplinreji. 

 ?. " Iris crimson-lake : orbital skin white ; bill greyish black ; feel dark grev ; claws 

 blackish." 



39. Tanygnathus megalorhynchus (Hodd.). 



Common on Djamjiea Island. 



? ad. "Iris, before skinning, white (probably pale yellow in life?); bill dee|i 

 wax-red; feet olivaceous grey ; claws blackish grey." The females are considerablv 

 smaller than the nudes, specially with smaller beaks and shorter wings, but the 

 variation.s in size are also remarkable apart from sex. 



The distribution of this parrot is remarkable. Salvadori (Cat. B. XX. j). 428) gives 

 it as follows : " Western coast of X'orthern New Guinea, Western Papuan Islands, 

 Northern Aloluccas or lialmahera grouij, Sanghir and Talaut Islands; according to 

 Meyer, also Togian Islands." T. affmis inhabiting the Southern Aloluccas and 

 C. suhafinis the Tenimber Islands, one might iiave expected these rather than 

 T. mefjalorhynchus on Djampea. 



4(». Trichoglossus forsteni Hji. 



This beautiful s])ecies was found to be common on Djampea Island. " The iris 

 (c?) is orange; the bill orange-red ; feet dark grey ; claws brown." One specimen from 

 Sumbawa, collected l\v fiuilleinard, in the Tring Museum, the same .specimen which 

 has been described in the Cat. B. XX. by Salvadori and will be figured in the 

 monograph of the Loriidac by .Mivarl, has the head above intermixed with some 

 dirty greyish bluish feathers, the ear-coverts more ]iurple, and but an indication of 

 the broad purplish blue band behind the greenish yellow liand on the hindneck. It 

 is moulting, and the plumage partly abraded. A si)ecimen in the l.eyden ^luseum, 

 kindly lent me by Dr. Biittikofer, which has been compared with the tyix' in the 

 same mu.seum, is perfectly alike. The wing of this species measures 139 -1 lli mm. 

 This species has onlv been recorded from Sumbawa!
