24. Graucalus floris alfredianus snbsp. nov. 



Half a dozen specimens from Alor clo.-iel}- resemble typical G. Jloris from 

 Flores, bnt are distinctly paler grey above and below, and the males do not have 

 the black throat and sides of the head. The males are like \h.ii females, only the 

 feathers above the nostrils are black, while in the females they are dark grey, and 

 the chin is blackish. I believe the males before me to bo fully adnlt, bnt if they 

 are not I cannot say whether they ever assume the black throat and sides of the 

 head which are so conspicuous in G. floris floris. The wing of the Alor specimens 

 is mostly about o mm. longer. " The iris is dark brown in both se.xes ; bill, legs, 

 and feet black." 



Tliere is also a skin from Lomblen ( ? , nat. coll.), which is like those from 

 Alor, but a shade darker, thus perhaps pointing towards G. floris floris. 



25. Edoliosoma timoriense Sharpe. 

 An immature male from Lomblen seems to belong to E. timoriense. 



26. Lalage timoriensis (ti. lilull.).

A nest with three rather hard-set eggs was found on April 2nd in Alor. It 

 is not very deep, lined with roots and twigs, bnt not with any soft material, outside 

 ornamented with dry leaves, cobwebs, and c]iij)s of bark. Tlie walls are not very 

 thick. The eggs are elongate, both ends rather ronnded, but the thick end much 

 thicker. They are creamy white, spotted with rufous brown and deeper lying 

 purplish grey spots, more frequent on the thick end, but none of them very large. 

 The eggs measure 2I'.t : 1.5 and 23 : 15 mm.
