32. Ptilotis reticulata (Temm.)- 



Commou at Atapupn aud Filaran. The female is (jnite like the nvile, ouly 

 much smaller. Wing iu males 80 — 82 mm., in females T4 — 77 mm. " Iris dark 

 lavender-grey." 



33. Ptilotis maculata (Temm.). 

 A single/cwa^e of this rare .species from Atapn])n. 



34. Zosterops muelleri (Hartl.). 



A large series from low country near Atapupn. c? ? • " Iris deej) Indian red : 

 orbital skin bluish black ; bill ' very dark horn-grey : feet and legs greenish 

 plumbeous ; claws light lirown." This species has the feathers of the crown 

 lengthened, and rather round and com])act. The bill is strong aud large, as in my 

 " Lophozosterops,'' and also as in Z. superciliaris and Z. crassirostris from Flores, 

 the latter of which has also a similar structure of the feathers of the crown. My 

 Lophozosterops, however, although similar iu most points, has the feathers of the 

 crown longer, looser, and mure pointed. Dr. Hartlanb made Z. muelleri the type of 

 his genus lieleiu, which, however, has not been recognised by Sharpe {Cat. B. IX. 

 p. 202). If it is recognised, my Lophozosterops must either be united with it and 

 not with Zosterops, or must be separately recognised as a genus, though there is not 

 much generic value iu either of them. 



3.5. Zosterops citrinella Bp. 



Common at Atapupn. Everett's aud Doherty's collections from the East have 

 shown that this species, formerly only known from Timor, extends from Timor to 

 the mountains of Eastern Java, being found on Flores, Savu, Snmba, 8ambawa, 

 Lombok, and Mount Arjnno. 



36. Cinnjnris Solaris (Temm.). 

 Two males from Atapupu. 



37. Myzomela vulnerata (S. Mull.). 

 Several males from Atapupu. 



■ 38. Dicaeum mackloti Mull. & Schleg. 

 Atapupn. Like specimens from Savu. 



39. Piprisoma obsoletum (Mull. & Schleg.). 

 <J ? . FUaran and Atapupu. 



1 must here correct; a mistake which I made formerly. What I recorded as 

 '^J'rio/wc//iliis oisoletus" fcora. Sambawa on p. 567 of Vol. III. of Nov. ZooL. is not 

 this species, but 



Acmonorhynchus auuae Biittik. 



The bad condition of the skins prevented my seeing the yellow rump-patch, and 

 1 had uu specimens of P. obsoletum from Timor, but judged from descriptions. On
