I cannot detect any differences from typical Java specimens, of w'uicli we have 

 a series collected by Mr. Ernst Prillwitz. The Kangean birds are perhaps a little 

 more yellowish green above, but this tinge is not constant, and does not, therefore, 

 seem to be a racial character. 



Dr. ^'orderraan did not obtain tliis species on the Kangean Islands.

This species is a stranger to the fauna of the greater Sunda Islands. It inhabits 

 the Timor group, Celebes, Djampea, the Moluccan and 8outh-Kast Islands, and was 

 known as far west as Satonda, near Sumbawa, only. 



Dr. Vorderman found it already on Kangean. Our two specimens are rather 

 small (wing 215 and 22.5 mm.), and their heads are very little rcsaceous, but other- 

 wise they do not differ from typical rosacea.. The primaries being old (belonging to 

 a former plumage), too much importance cannot be attached to the small size of our 

 specimens, though it is remarkable that Dr. Vorderman also quotes the wing of his 

 specimen with only 223 mm.
