49. Megapodius duperreyi Less, et Garn. 



Common on Dammer Island. " Iris burnt-sienna rcl, feet yellowish vermilion, 

 bill dirty yellow." 



Thus Mr. Kiihn sent forty-nine species, of which ten were previously known to 

 occur on Dammer, although three were not quite correctly identified before. Two 

 birds mentioned by Dr. Sharpe were not procured by Kiihn: '' Graucalus melanops " 

 and " Hirundo gutturalis.'" Of these the Hirundo is only a winter visitor, and might 

 not be of regnlar and frequent occurrence, but it is strange that the very conspicuous 

 and large Gvaid-alas was not obtained. As Dammer is quite within its range, 1 

 have no right to doubt its occurrence there, but it should be noticed that Sharpe 

 names ten species of birds from Dammer, while AValker says nine only were 

 collected. 



It is remarkable that Dr. ISbarpe from the scauty material before him drew 

 correct conclusions about the zoogeographical relations of Dammer, which he said 

 were with Timorlaut on the one hand, and with Timor on the other, " while some 

 species may be found peculiar to the Damma, Lettie, and Wetter groups of islands." 

 From our larger material it is evident that the relations with Timorlaut are very 

 obvious (cf Ileteranax tniuidi(s, Faclnjcepluila arctitorquis, Eos reticaluta). 



Some forms are exactly the same as those found on the so-called Serwatty 

 Islands (Lettie, Moa, Bebber, etc.), and those that are hitherto only known as Timor
