69. Geoffroyus personatus floresianus Salvad. 



Differs from G. p. personatus as follows : Slightly larger, with a larger bill ; 

 wing 158 — 163 mm. The plum-bine of the crown deeper and extending farther

70. Geofiroyus personatus sumbavensis Salvad. 



Of the size of G. p. floresianus, or even larger : wing 161 — 172 mm., the green 

 general colour a little lighter than in fioresianus, sometimes nearly as light as in 

 G. p. persona.tus ; under wing-coverts lighter than m floresianus, but slightly deeper 

 blue than in G. p. personatus. Extent of plum-blue as in /fo/-('s/«/»/.?. 



We have not the slightest doubt that lamlshergii of Finsch is only an aberration 

 of sumbavensis !
