I confess that I felt somewhat uneasy about the differences of (Id. intermedia 

 from Chi. hjperythra, but the upper tail-coverts look certainly (juite different 

 from the female of the Java species in the British Museum, and I have before 

 me now not less than nine specimens collected by Doherty, and exactly as many 

 sent by Everett— all from Lombok, and in all ages and both sexes — and certainly 

 none has the upper tail-coverts orange, birt green with only a very slight orange 

 wash. i juv. " Iris dark brown ; feet pale reddish ; beak black ; mandible with 

 yellowish white tip." Doherty shot them in the hills up to 40UO feet. 



21. Munia punctulata nisoria (Temm.). 



Common from 1000 to ."000 feet. " Iris dark brown; feet blackish; maxilla 

 black ; mandible slate-colour." Vorderman enumerates J/, punctulata and M. niaoria 

 as occurring in Lombok. This is (clearly a mistake. 



22. Munia leucogastroides Horsf. >S: Moore. 

 Met with at elevations of from 2i)0ii to (iOOO feet. Yordi'rman, l.r. \\ :UT. 



2;'). Munia wallacei Sharpe. 



Two males from about 2000 feet. " Iris dark brown: bill slnte-bluc; feet dnllei- 

 slate-colour." Wing .56 mm. {M. (luiiiticolor of Wallace's list, l.r.) 



24. Munia pallida Wall. 

 6, 2000 feet. " Iris dark brown; bill and feet slate-grey." 



*25. Sporaeginthus fiavidiventris (Wall.). 



Found at elevations of 4000 and ."iildO feet. "Bill scarlet: cnlmen broadly 

 black ; iris scarlet ; feet pale testaceous." 



26. Taeniopygia insularis (Wall.). 



From the low country up to 2000 feet. "Iris scarlet; bill orange ; feet pale 

 orange." Only known from Timor and Flores. Vorderman, f.c. p. 347. 



27. Calornis minor ( Hji.). 



Met with frequently in the low country and up to 4000 feet above the sea. 



Lombok specimens are quite like those from Sambawa, Djampea, Saleyer, and 

 Bonthain Peak in South Celebes, whiles I lie Bali bird is C. chnhjhca or a small form 

 of it. (.\ntca. p. r)4().)
