 they are heard chiefly when there is bright mooulight. The I'ry is a clear 

 but not very loud ' pwok,' like that of -S'. lempiji, but somewhat different 

 iu tone. The owls were heard as high up the mountains as 4.')UI) feet, 

 and no other owl was heard or seen by my men." 

 67. Cerchneis moluccemis 0(xi(lentaUs Mey. & ^V'igl. — Tliree skins. 



*68. (?) "■ Faleo meluiio<jeni/s. — I observed this bird several times at the village of 

 Teteh Batu, but did not secure a specimen. On one occasion 1 was able to 

 examine it jiretty closely with a field-glass, and I have no doubt that it was 

 the Australian bird. It was certainly not F. ernesti ; and apart from iis 

 very dark cheeks, it coulil hardly lie the northern peregrine on migration near 

 the end of June." 



*0',). Fulco iKHidatas Lath. — One specimen only of this hobby was obtained at 

 Baian at about 700 feet on the northern slope of Kinjaui. This is, I think, 

 the most western locality where this species has ever been found. 



*70. '■ Ilaliacfas U'ltcoyaster. — One or two were observed at Ampeiiau.'' 



71. '' ILiUaisfiir iiiterniedius. — Seen occasionally both at Ampenau and up to about 



:^000 feet on the mountains. The diurnal birds of prey are conspicuous 



by their paucity of individuals in Lombok according to my observation, 



Cerchneismoluccensls being perhaps the species mostabundantly represented." 



*72. Sphenocercm korthalsi. (Temm.). — One adult male of this rare pigeon, which 

 is only known from Java and Sumatra, has been sent from Rindjoni, 

 Bendera, 4000 feet high. 

 To. Osmotrcroii >:ernans (L.). — One mule (Vorderman, p. ;io0). 



74. Ftilinopus melanocephaliis (Forst.). — 260(J feet (p. oO;3). 



75. rtilinopUK albocinctas Wall. — A fine series from the low country iqi to about 



4()00 feet. " Iris bright red ; beak greenish at base, yellow at tip ; feet 

 bright rod" (p. M'i). 



7t). Varpopliiiija sa-saltctms Hartert (p. o04j. — A fine series from 2.jt»0 to 4iMlU feet 

 on the northern flanks of lliujani. i and $ . '' Iris dark browu, orbital ring 

 crimson ; bill dull black ; feet carmine, claws browu." The males are 

 lighter than the j'cmalc.s. Wing of male's, 220 — 237 mm.; of females, 

 210—225 mm. 

 "77. Carpophaga ueiwa (Ti.). — •"The two male specimens which 1 send of this 

 bird were obtained on the northern flank of Rinjani Slountain at 2ii00 feet. 

 In both the bills were dull black with the apical purtions jiale grey ; iris and 

 ring round the eye red ; feet purplish carmine. In neither was there any 

 red about the bill. 1 did not see these birds in the flesh, but very shortly 

 after the skins had been prejiared and before the bill and feet were dry. 

 These birds seem to me so different from the 15ornean and Palawan 

 ('. uenea that 1 think perhaps they are some other species altogether." 

 I have inserted Mr. Everett's notes in full, as field-notes are always of 

 interest ; but I am unable to se(^ how to separate the birds from. C uenea. 

 The wings are somewhat long, measuring 24;J and 245 mm.
