1-1. Myiagra rufigula Wall. 



Filarau iiud Atapupu. The depth of the rufmis throat aud chest varies ver\- 

 much.

One adLvHtfetnalc, Atapupa. 



IT. Muscicapula westermanni Sharpe. 

 c? ?. Atapupu. 



18. Erythromyias pyrrhonota (MiUl. iV Schleg-j. 



Both sexes from Atapupu, where it is commou. i ad. " Iris chocnlate-lirown ; 

 bill black ; legs and feet dark purplish grey." 



19. Rhipidura rufiventris (Vieill.). 

 Common near Atapupu. 



20. Rhipidura semicollaris Midi. & Schleg. 



A series from Atapupu. 



Timor is the original locality for this form : our Atapupu skins are therefore to 

 be regarded as typical. The Flores form (see Vol. IV. pp. 52.5, 526) have the 

 wings generally longer, but one S has it not longer than 71 mm., while one Timor 

 male has it almost 70 mm. long. Therefore I do not dare to separate tliem without 

 further evidence. The Rli. celebensis (which does not seem to occur in Celebes) 

 differs only from semicollaris in its slightly broader black chest-band and a little 

 greater extent of the rusty red colour on the mantle. Eh. sumbenais is again only 

 distinguishable by a wider black chest-band and slightly longer wing on an 

 average. These forms are closely allied, and all subspecies of one species. 



21. Graucalus melanops (Lath.). 



c? ? ad. Filaran, .July lS'._t7. They seem to be indistinguishable from 

 Australian specimens, but it is remarkable that some of the latter are so much paler 

 than others. Perhaps the New Guinea birds are paler as a rule, but I have not 

 sufficient material to come to any conclusion about it. 



22. Graucalus personatus (S. Mull.). 



Mr. Everett ])rocured a tine series at Atapupu in July aud August. They were 

 then in good plumage. The " iris is brown ; bill black ; legs dark grey." The 

 upper wing-coverts aud scapulars are slaty grey, and not black, as said in the 

 Cat. B. Brit. Mas. IV. ]). 13. The under wing-coverts and axillaries are white 

 in both sexes, and only in some specimens washed with rusty butf near the bend of 

 the wing, and this is not a character jjeculiar to thc/emale.
