parts, on the breast and abdomen are faint dark cross-bars, the wliitc tips to the 

 tail-feathers are again narrowly tipped with blaclc, and tlie longer nnder tail-coverts 

 have wide white tips, which are narrowly bordered with Idack. 



3. Artamus leucorhynchus (L.). 

 A pair from Atapnpn. 



4. Calornis minor (Bp.)- 

 Filaran, W. Timor. Exactly like specimens from Flores, Sambawa, Lombok. 



5. Geocichla peronii (Vieill.)- 



? ad. " Iris chocolate-brown : liill brownish black, basal half of mandible 

 whitish ; legs white, tinged witli brown on tlie feet, and witii lavender-grey on the 

 tarsi ; claws pale brown." 



Common at Atapnpn, from the sea-level np to abont a thonsand feet. 



6. Pratincola caprata (L.). 

 Atapnpn. 



7. Oreicola melanoleuca (Vieill.). 



Mr. Everett procured a large series near Atapnpn in .Inly and Angnst 1897. 

 In Wallace's list in P. Z. S. 1863, p. 485, this bird occnrs twice, his Snxicolc 

 luctuosa being t\ie female of his S. melanoleufd. 



^. Cettia everetti sp. nov. 



A small series of a Cettia, from Atapnpn are closely allied to C. montana Horsf. 

 (cf. Nov. ZooL. III. p. 538). They differ, however, in being above of a more 

 greenish olive, not so brownish colonr as C. montana, and in the breast not being- 

 washed with riifons brown. The tarsus is shorter in most specimens. There is a very 

 pale whitish superciliary line. The iris of the 7nale is " burnt sienna-colour; liill 

 sepia-brown, mandible whitish yellow, brown towards the tip; legs yellowish white 

 on their inner, light brown on their outer aspect; claws brown." The wing measures 

 50 — 51 mm.; tail 53 — 55; tarsus 18 — 2i); culmen from base 13. A young bird has 

 the middle of the abdomen distinctly yellow. Sexes alike. 



This form is closely allied to C. montana, and may be considered only snb- 

 specifically different; but with the present lack of more definite knowledge of its 

 allies, and of what may occur of it on Flores, Sambawa, and other islands, it is 

 l)erhaps less venturous to describe it as a species. 



1 may here be allowed to s.ay that the genus Cettia does not, in my opinion, at 

 all belong to the Turdidae, among which they are placed in the Cat. B. Brit. Mu.'s. 

 v., but that their short rounded wing, bill, bristles, and the nidification, especially 

 the colour of their eggs, point towards a jiosition in Vol. VII. of the Cat. B. Brit. 

 Mi'.s., probably not very far from the Tailor-l)irds. 



I have here also to add that, besides the sjiccimens from Mount Arjnno 

 recorded in Nov. Zom,. 111. \>. 538, we have two from Lombok, collected liy 

 Mr. "W. Uoherty.
