some of the Key Islands specimens api)roach Australian ones, but 1 believe that 

 this is not a racial character, but merely due to the age of the plumage. 



It may be said here that Australian specimens of //. yaUitmceus galUmiceus 

 are not larger than those from Celebes. Probably this statement was made when 

 males from Celebes &nA./emales from Australia were compared. 



57. Lobivanellus miles (Bodd.). 

 A good series from Toeal to hand. 



58. Charadrius dominicus fulvus Gm. 



The " Eastern Golden Plover " is before me from the following places : 

 Toeal, Little Key, one skin, November 14th. 

 Teoor, four skins, November 1st to 4th. 

 Ondor, Goram-laut, six skins, February 24tli to 28th. 



59. Ochthodromus geofiroyi (Wagl.). 



Only represented from Maar (Ceram-laut) and from Teoor, but most occasionally 

 on the Key Islands as well. The wings of these examples are very long. They 

 are winter birds, shot in November and December. Western specimens have 

 perhaps always shorter wings, but I cannot settle this ijuestiou now. 



(30. Ochthodromus veredus (Gould). 



Mr. Klihn repeatedly obtained this bird near Toeal from September to 

 November. 



61. Himantopus leucocephalus Gonld. 



Mr. Klihn sent two males from Toeal, shot in September and October. He 

 marks the iris as vermilion, feet pink, bill black. Doherty obtained it on Batjan, 

 in August. 



62. Numenius cyanopus Vieill. 



A beautiful large male was shot at Trangau Island, liittle Key group, on 

 April 9th, l.s98. The stripes on the under surface are rather heavy. 



63. Numenius phaeopus variegatus (Scop.). 

 Toeal, not rare, and Maar, Ceram-laut. 



64. Numenius minutus Gould. 



Three specimens were shot in October 1897 on Little Key, near Toeal. " Iris 

 black ; feet bright grey ; bill brownish-black." 



65. Heteractitis brevipes Vicill. 

 Toeal, Teoor, Maar (Ceram-laut).
