Tiiis most interesting oriole stands somewhat between 0. maculatus of Java 

 and 0. hroderipi. The black semicircle passes from the lores through the eyes, and 

 unites on the nape. The central rectrices are black with yellow tips, not greenish, 

 as in the group of Onolus celebensis. The bill is longer than in O. inaculatus, 

 smaller than in 0. hroderipi. The black band on the naj)e is narrower than in 

 0. hroderipi, wider than generally in 0. macultUus. Altogether 0. insularis seems 

 to be nearest to 0. maculatus, but the orange colour which is often (though by no 

 means always) developed in 0. hroderipi and 0. insularis is never known to occur 

 in 0. maculatus. 0. ins tdaris measures: Wing 149 — 153 mm.; tail 106 — 108 mm.; 

 bill 31—32 mm. 



It will not be quite ea.sy to decide how many, if any, of these forms should be 

 treated trinomially as subspeoie.s, but this will doubtless be considered soon.

1 cJ Kangean N.W. (No. 235.) Local name : " gauk." It is very doubtful if 

 this specimen is tyi)ical C. macrorhynchos, as the bill is wider at base and projior- 

 tionally more elongate than in a large series of C. miicrorhi/nrhos before me. Dr. 

 ^'orderman's measurements (culmen 68 mm., height of bill at liasis 25 mm.) seem 

 also to indicate a similar bill. I measure: culmen from base to tip in a straight 

 line 71 mm., height at base 24 mm., greatest width at base 255 mm. L'nfortunately 

 i\Ir. I'rillwitz sent only one specimen.
