»'i. Monarcha inomatus kisserensis A. B. Meyer. 



All thn specimens from Woeloer agree with Dr. Meyer's from Kisser (Sitzber. 

 <f- Ab/t. " Iris," Dresden, 1884, p. 22) in;beiug very light whitish grey. The study of 

 a sufficiently large material will probably enable ns to separate several more local 

 forms. Specimens from the Snla Islands are almost equally pale as those from 

 Dammer, while J/, inor/iati/g commutntm from Sangi is a darker form. 



T. Heteranax mundus (Scl.). 



(For synonymy see Salvadori, Orn. Papnas. e Molucc. Ayginn'e II., p. 75.) 

 We have received a good series from Dammer, and we cannot find any differences 

 from specimens of Timorlant. Only the adult male seems to be described. Tlie 

 adult female does not differ from the adult male, except that it is a trifle smaller, 

 the wings of the males measuring 80 to 85 mm., those of the females 77 to 78 mm. 

 The 3-oung, in both sexes, differs considerably. It is above earthy brown, forehead 

 whitish, cansed by the white bases to the feathers. Remiges deep brown, margined 

 outwardly with rufous brown, inwardly with whitish. Rectriccs blackisli brown, 

 margined with brown, the three outer pairs with wide buff tips, largest on the outer- 

 most pair. Lores, sides of head and neck, and throat white, breast and abdomen 

 cinnamon-buff, thighs grey. Under wing-coverts whitish buff. Adult: '' Iris dark 

 brown. Feet slaty-grey. Bill bright ash-grey with blackish tip and whitish cutting- 

 edges." 



8. Dammeria henrici Harf. 



In Bull. B. 0. dull, V. VIII., jip. LVII., LVIIL, I described this interesting 

 flycatcher about as follows: — 



Dammeria gen. uov. Muscicapidaram. 



Remarkable for its strong, high, and arched beak, with large nostrils plainly to 

 be seen in front of the stiff, short, frontal plumes, which are continued on the beak 

 to the nostril. In the well-developed wing the fifth primary is the longest, the 

 first a little more than half the length of the second. Tail composed of twelve 

 feathers, rather more than two-thirds of the length of the wing; rectrices about 

 equal in length, slightly pointed. Metatarsus long, longer than the middle toe 

 with claw, covered in front with a lamina, which shows some two or three divisions 

 near the toes. Sexes dissimilar in colouration. 



Dammeria hetirici, 3 ad. Above dark slaty blue, lores and feathers of the 

 forehead darker, nearly black. Above the lores, from eye to middle of forehead, 

 a line of pure white feathers, similar to that found in many species of Brachi/ptcryx. 

 Underside dark slaty blue, chin darker, almost black ; in the middle of the 

 throat a white, sometimes concealed patch. Feathers of chest and breast with 

 narrower or wider longitudinal white spots near the tips, those of the belly and sides 

 of the rump tipped with white, under tail-coverts nearly black, with wliite patches. 

 Remiges slaty black, brownish grey towards the bases of the inner webs ; under 

 wing-coverts slate-colonr, partly tipped with white. " Iris brown, bill black, feet 

 blackish plumbeous." Total length about 130 mm., wing 68 — fiO, tail 50, metatarsus 

 20, culmen about 15, bill from end of nostril to tip 7 mm. 



? ad. Above olive-brown with a slaty wash, upper tail-coverts slaty-brown:
