towards the middle, so that the centre ones are only narrowly fringed with white on 

 the tip. Wing abont 2 or :i mm. shorter than in the nuilc. 



The species has originally been described from the Makassar district in iVleljes. 

 It was collected by the distinguished Dutch botanist Teysraann. As the bird is so 

 common on Djampea and Kalao, hut was not found in Saleyer, nor near AIaka.ssar 

 bv recent collectors, one cannot hel)) being somewhat scejitical with regard to the 

 locality "Makassar district," especially as Teysmann travelled over many jiarts of 

 the Eastern Archipelago, no original labels, as far as I know, having been attached 

 to his birds. Some of his many important discoveries are species jieculiar to the 

 Celebes 'highlands, as we have seen in the preceding article on the birds of Bonthain 

 Peak. 



0. Myzomela chloroptera Wald. 



Saleyer and Djampea. The same as the Celebes form. The young ni'di: is like 

 the adult feimdc. Many intermediately' coloured specimens. 



7. Zosterops intermedia Wall. 

 Saleyer, Djampea, and Kalao. The species was first described from Celebes 

 (.Makassar), but it is said to occur also in Lombok and Ternate. 



8. Authus gustavi Swinh. 

 Djamiiea and Kalao. This species breeds in Siberia and wanders southwards 

 to Timor, Celebes, and the Moluccas. 



9. Motacilla flava L. 

 Saleyer, Kalao. 



10. Munia molucca (L.). 



A series from Saleyer and Kalao. They agree entirely with specimens iVoni 

 Celebes. These latter have been included with his subspecies propinqua (from 

 Flores) by Sharpe, Cat. B. XIII. p. 368, though he admits that they stood somewhat 

 between the two forms, and have been united with M. Ttiolucca iiy Biittikofcr, 

 Weber's Reiae, III. p. 280. Messrs. Meyer & Wiglesworth also say that they are inter- 

 mediate, but call them M. molucca (Abk. und Ber. Miis. Dresden, 1896, No. 1, p. 13). 

 I cannot see any constant differences between Celebes and Moluccan birds, and those 

 from Saleyer and Kalao do not differ either, though sonw few specimens have 

 perhaps a little whiter breast, thus apparently pointing towards the Flores form. 



11. Artamus leucogaster (Valenc). 



Sale^'er and Djampea. The young bird (Djampea) has a brown beak, a very 

 pale grey throat, the feathers on the back tipped with ochraceous brown, the remiges 



and rectrices tipped with whitish. 



12. Calomis minor (Bp.). 

 Saleyer and Djampea. ? juv. " Iris olive-yellow; bill and legs dull Mack." 



i:>. Dicrurus leucops Wall. 

 S ?. Saleyer. One very young wilhout the glos.^^y tips to the feathers.
