One single male, Bali, low conntn'. 



This excellent new species differs from Gracupica melanopter-a (Dand.), an 

 inhabitant of Java, in having the entire back, rump, upper wing- and nppor tail-coverts 

 slaty grey instead of white. There is also a mixture of grey on the flanks, and the 

 feathers on the sides nf the body and the lower abdomen have grey bases. 



:'.<•. Eulabes javanensis (Usbeck) typicus 

 At 2000 to 3000 feet. ■' 15eak orange, yellow at the tiji : feet and wattles 

 yellow " (W. D.). 



31. Artamus leucogaster (Valenc.;. 

 2000 to 3000 feef. 



32. Dicrurus cineraceus (Horsf.). 

 Low country and 200(i to 3imi() feet. " Iris scarlet ; beak and feef lijack." 



33. Dicrurus longus Bp. (?). 



There are several skins of a O/V-r/irus, very much like I), atcr Herm. from 

 India, but evidently much smaller, with shorter tail and wings, although all the 

 skins are moulting, and it is, therefore, not worth while to give detailed measure- 

 ments. If, as I have no doubt, the .lava bird differs from D. ater of India, the 

 name 1>. lonyus must stand for it, as there is no reason at all why T). macrocercus of 

 Vieillot should " pertain to the Java bird alone." The Bali birds belong most likely 

 to the fonu inhabiting Java. Cf. Walden, B. Burma, p. 129 ; Sharpe, Cat. li. 

 Brit. Mii)<. III. p. 246. The iris of flie Bali specimens is dark red-brown ; bill and 

 feet black. 



34. Chibia bimaensis (Bp.). 



Both sexes from low country. ? . '• Iris deep brown : bill and feet black." 

 This is one of the invaders from the Timor group into the Baliuese fauna. 



3."i. Oriolus maculatus Vieill. 

 rf ? . 2000 to 3000 feef and in the low country. 



30. Crypsirhina varians (Lath.). 

 In the low country. " Iris bright light blue: bill and feet black." Another 

 specimen : " Iris pearl-white, transparent Ijluish towards the pupil." 



37. Lanius bentet Horsf. 

 A good series from the lowlands. -'Iris dark brown; bill black; base of 

 mandible pale." Like specimens from Java. It seems tliaf Sumatrau specimens 

 arc mostly (or all ?) ]ialcr rufous on the rump and upper tail-coverts.
