not E. cerame^ise, as it is termed in Cat. B. 1\. p. 47), lait the wing seems to be 

 slightly longer; the grey edges on the wing-coverts and secondaries are broader. 

 The female ditfers entirely from that of E. amboinense, wliich is ashy brown above, 

 in being above light slaty grey, and there is no fawn-coloured superciliary streak, as in 

 the female of that species. The ear-coverts are light slaty grey, streaked with white. 

 There is a slight brownish wash on the runij). The young bird is narrowly barred 

 with dusky black on the npperside, as the remaining feathers in one of the females 

 clearly indicate. 



S ad. Wing 132 — 138 mm. ; tail 113; culmen 25—26; width of bill at nostrils 9; 

 tarsus 23. ? ad. " Iris chocolate-brown ; bill jet-black; legs, feet, and claws greyish 

 black." Wing 129-132 mm. 



Several of the species of Edoliosoma are very closely allied, and a large material 

 from many places is still required to understand them thoroughly. 



The male of E. tim.oriense is quite different from E. emancipata, not having any 

 black in the face. E. tenuiroatns of Australia is much like it, but the wings and 

 wing-coverts are bordered with grey only, not with grey and white outer edges; 

 the females also differ. 



18. Lalage timoriensis (S. Miill). 

 Saleyer, Djampea, Kalao. (Blittik., I.e., Saleyer.) 



19. Culicicapa helianthea Wall. 

 S. Saleyer. Identical with sjiecimens from Celebes. 



20. Gerygone flaveola Cab. 



Like the specimen from Indrulaman, Imt looking paler because not in such 

 fresh plumage. 



Two males from Saleyer. 



21. Myiagra rufigula Wall. 



Djampea and Kalao. ? . " Iris dark brown ; bill black ; mandible pale blue, 

 with black tip ; legs and claws greyish black.'' 



The male^nA fernxde are well described in the LU. B. The younger female 

 (and male) are still 'more uniform above than the adult /emaie, and the throat is still 

 paler This species bears much resemblance with M. alhiventris from Samoa, but 

 the greyish (not deep black) lores, the smaller bill, and the greater extent of the 

 rufous colour underneath distinguish it without difficulty. 



The species is otherwise an inhabitant of the Timor group of islands. 



■1'2. Siphia omissa I 



larterl. 



See antea, pp. 71 and l.J7. 



A fine series from Salever shows that the bir.ls from that island entirely agree 

 with those from Celebes. The wale of S. omissa is jialer blue above than that of 

 S. Imnyumas, the bill is a little narrower, hut altogether the differences between the 

 males are trifling, while those between the females of the two species are very ohNious.
