4. Trichogflossus haematodus cyanogrammus Wagl. 

 We have received two examples, labelled " Key Islands " March and April, 1900, 

 which belong doubtless to cyanogrammus. The occnrrence ou the Key Islands is 

 not strange, as ci/anogrammus extends all along the Sonth-Eastern Islands, whence 

 we received a large series from Teoor, Koer, Kisoei, Goram-laut, and Manawoka. 



o. Hypocharmosyna placentis placentis (Temm.). 



Not rare near Toeal, Little Key, ou Add, near Great Key, on the Koer Islands, 

 ou Manggoer, and at Goram-Iant. 



The young male resembles the adult female, but the blue patch on the 

 nropygium is only indicated or absent in young birds. 



6. Geoffiroyus personatus rhodops (Schleg.). 



A small series from C'eram-laut only. " Iris (cJ) whitish yellow, or yellowish 

 white, feet olive-grey. Bill coral-red with white tip, under mandible black." 



These birds agree with those from Burn, Amboina and Ceram, but the colour 

 of the under mandible seems to vary in birds from those islands. Ou the Soutli- 

 East Islands this form is replaced by explorator. 



7. Geoflfroyus personatus explorator, subsp. no v. 



Differs from rhodops in its much smaller size, the wing of the males measuring 

 only 175 — 178 mm., against 189 — 195 in rhodops, in the under mandible being 

 apparently always pale, aud in the green colour being as a rule more yellowish. 

 The crown of the female seems to be lighter brown. 



We have a small series of six specimens from Manawoka, Goram (or Gorom 

 Islands). Type : S Goram Islands (Manawoka), 14. xi. 1899. " Iris yellowish 

 white with a transparent amber-like ring. Feet olive-green or olive-grey. Mandible 

 dirty white or pale brown." 



Replaced on the Key Islands by capistratus. 



8. GeofFroyus personatus capistratus (Gray). 



We have received a tine series from Toeal aud Koemadan (Little Key), from 

 Add and Elat (Great Key), from Messrs. H. Kiihn, Doherty and Gayley Webster. 

 " Iris yellowish white or whitish yellow, feet olive-grey, maxilla red, mandible 

 black." (Kiihn.) 



There is no reason to reject Gray's name of Psittacus caj/istratus (P.Z.S. 1858, 

 p. 183), ou account of the existence of a Fsittacus capistratus of Bechstein, as the 

 latter belongs to a widely different genus of Parrots. 



9. Eos bornea (L.). 

 (With regard to the name of this species see Rothschild, Nov. Zool. 1898, 

 p. 509.)
