fil. Cuncuma leucogaster (Gm.). 

 Yonug female in very abraded plumage, Atapnpu, Angnst 1897. 



62. Haliastur indus (Bodd.) (? intermedius). 



A very young female, m first plamage, Atapnpu, August. It belongs most 

 likely to the subspecies inti'i-medius, but as it is not accompanied by adult specimens 

 I cannot say for certain. 



63. Baza subcristata Gould. 

 Male, August, Atapnpu. 



04. Tinnunculus moluccensis occidentalis II. & Wg. 

 Male imd/emale, August, Larantuka ami Atapupu. 



65. Falco lunulatus Lath. 



c? ad. July, Atapupu. "Iris chocolate-brown; orbital skin pale bluish; cere 

 light dirty green; bill lead-grey, apical portion black; legs pale wax-yellow, claws 

 black." 



60. Osmotreron psittacea (Temm. & Knip.). 



Filaran, July, Atapupu, July and August, d ad. " Iris orange, with an inner 

 ring of olive-yellow; orbital skin pale bluish green ; bill horn-white, basal half 

 dull bluish ; feet dull purple-carmine." The edges of the greater and median wing- 

 coverts are yellow in all the males, while all the/emales have them white, or very 

 pale yellow on the longer ones, with the exception of one, which has them as 

 yellow as the males. It is not improbable that the latter is wrongly sexed, as it 

 was skinned by a native hunter. 



67. Ptilinopus cinctus (Temm.). 



This beautiful Pigeon was found not uncommon at Atapnpu in July and 

 August. The yellow tinge on the throat and breast is very strong in fresh skins. 

 The adult }>iale has the " Iris brilliant red; bill vivid yellow, strongly tinged with 

 leaf-green on the basal half." The young bird in first plumage has the feathers 

 of the head and neck barred with very pale grey, those of the back and rump and 

 the wing-coverts green, with yellow margins. The black band across the breast is 

 not developed.
