I'erruginons. Throat grey; chest a little darker grey; sides of abdomen pale brown; 

 middle of abdomen greyish white. Under tail-coverts and nnder wing-coverts light 

 bntf. Total length about 135 mm. ; wing 7(5 in three skins marked " c?," 78 in one 

 marked " cJ," 81 in one marked " 6," and 7o-5 in one marked " ? " ; tail 58 — 61; 

 exjjosed part of ciilmen 11; tarsns 18. Theji'?nale does not differ from the males. 



At elevations of from 3000 to 3500 feet in Sonth Flores. 



More about this form, the exact position of which is difficult to determine, will 

 be said in future. 



4. Cryptolopha montis floris snbsp. nov. 



A number of skins of a Cryptolopha from the hills of South Flores are hardly 

 distinguishable from C. montis from Mount Kina Balu in North Borneo ; but the 

 dark brown stripes, starting from above the eyes and running backwards to the nape 

 in C. mont/'a from Borneo, are less conspicuous in the Flores birds, not being so broad 

 and only starting from behind the eyes, so that, whOe they are conspicuous if 

 looking straight into the face of C. montis mantis, they are not visible from right in 

 front in C. montis jloris. 



It is very interesting to find in Flores a form so closely allied to one known from 

 the mountains of North Borneo, Sumatra, and Palawan, and it is a further proof of a 

 certain similarity between the Highland fauna of the great mountains of various 

 islands of the Eastern Archipelago.

Hah. Flores meridioualis. 



This remarkable bird will be figured in one of the future numbers of this 

 journal. 



6. Lophozosterops (an potius Zosterops) subcristatus sp. nov. 



A series of skins from 3000 to 3500 feet from the hills of South Flores closely 

 resemble my Lophozosterops dohertyi of the mountains of Sambawa, but they are 

 easily distinguished by the ear-coverts being lighter and sulphur-yellow like the 

 abdomen, while in L. tlohertyi they are olive. In consequence of this the jjale 

 yellow line behind the eye is more consjncuons in h. dohertyi, less so in L. suhrris- 

 tatus. The crest-feathers are shorter ; the forehead is paler brown; the gnttate 

 spots in the centres of the feathers of the crown are dirty whitish, and very mncli 

 less sharply defined and less conspicuous in the Flores bird. Although these 

 differences are very obvious, it may be left doubtful whether L. subcristatus is 

 much more than a well-marked subspecies of L. dohertyi. Unfortunately this 

 new form bridges, to a certain degree, over from Lophozosterops to Zosterops, thus 

 making the value of my poor genus very doubtful. More about this will be said on 

 another occasion.
