It seems that all the skins of the group of Authnx rn.fuhi.t. from the Lesser 

 Sunda Islands belong to a grey form, characterised liy a rather greyish upjier 

 surface, a broad superciliary streak, rather white colour below, sharply streaked 

 breast. Wing H3 — 84 mm.; tarsus 26. It must either be a species, or, more 

 likely, a subspecies of A. rufulus. See Sharpe, Cat. 11. lirit. ^fl/.■<. XIII. p. .577. 



'] '21 1. Chlorura intermedia s]i, 



This species, or perhajis rather subspecies, is most closely allied to C/il. 

 hiperythra Hchb. of Java, but the ujijicr tail-coverts are not dull orange, but 

 green with a slight orange wash. It is just as closely allied to ' 'id. borneensis 

 Sharpe from Kina Balu, but differs in a deeper tawny rufous l)reast, throat, 

 and sides of head and neck, aud a purer tawny rnfons abdomen. C//1. hrunnei- 

 ranfrlt Grant, of Luzon, is smaller, and has the abdonien not only in the middle, 

 but all over j)alc rufous.
