22. Carpophaga concinna separata Hart. 



Spi'cimeus from the Key Islands are generally whiter, and often larger. The 

 underside, neck, and head are much less greyish, but mnch more creamy whitish. 

 This can especially be seen when the feathers of the neck and breast are lifted np. 

 The bases then look distinctly greyish in typical roi/riuna, bnt almost white in 

 separata. Single specimens nevertheless are sometimes hardly distinguishable. 



23. Myristicivora melanura (Gray). 



This Molnccan species was found on Goram-laut only. 



~'4. Myristicivora bicolor (Scop.). 



Mr. Kiihn sent specimens from Ceratu-laut, Kisoei in the Watoebela gron]i, 

 Teoor, and from Little Key. 



25. Macropygia amboinensis keyensis Salvad. 



Wo know tliis form from the Key Islands only. Mr. Kiihn sent it from Tooal 

 and from Add Island, north of Great Key. 



This form ilififers from amboinensis in the colour of the crown, and in the 

 continuation of tlie bars on tlie underside down to tlie vent and under tail-coverts. 

 The tail is also shorter, and the bars on the under surface slightly wider. 



20. Macropyg'ia amboinensis amboinensis (L.). 



This form inhabits some (if not all) of the South-East Islands, though I cannot 

 find that this was known before Mr. Kuhn's visit to them. We have received it 

 from Manawoka, Goram group, from Ondor, Goram-laut, and also from Ceram-laut. 



Specimens from these islands do not seem to differ from typical amboinensis. 

 They differ from heye.mis in their longer tails, the unbarred under tail-coverts 

 (merely indications being visible sometimes), and in the barrings becoming obsolete 

 and evanescent on the abdomen. The top of the head is also of a dift'ereut colour, 

 being more or less cinnamon, instead of ashy greyish. 



27. Reinwardtoena reinwardtsi reinwardtsi (Temm.). 



Tlie genus Reinwnrdtorna is apparently absent from the Key and Soutli-East 

 Islands, Imt Mr. Kiilin sent us two skins from Ceram-laut. These have the abdomen 

 pale lavender grey and the breast white, the wing about 225 mm. long. They seem 

 to be indistinguishable fVoni what I consider typical reinioardti from the northern 

 Moluccas. They do not seem to have the long wing, very jiale head and j)aler, 

 somewhat creaiiiy underside of the Burn birds which I have, I tliink rightly, 

 separated as R. r. albida. 



28. Caloenas nicobarica (L.). 



llerr Kiihn sent this liinl only from Toeal, from Soa near Little Key, and one 

 from Teuiai in tlie Taaiii group.
