Similar to Anthreptes malacensis, malacensis but the breast deeper 

 yellow, the brown of the throat redder; the cheeks strongly washed with 

 the color of the throat; and the middle and greater wing-coverts washed 

 with a deeper and more reddish brown. Wing, 66.5; tail, 46; culmen, 

 18 mm. 



Remarks. — This race is founded upon a good series from the type lo- 

 cality and the U. S. National Museum contains a large series from northern 

 Dutch East Borneo, and a male from Labuan that seems to belong to the 

 same form. A specimen from Pulo Laut, Southeast Borneo, seems to 

 belong to the Javan race. Malay Peninsula specimens have the cheeks 

 olive-green, sometimes with a slight reddish cast, but nothing like the 

 deep wash in the North Bornean specimens. In the color of the throat, 

 cheeks, and middle wing-coverts Anthreptes malacensis bornensis ap- 

 proaches Anthreptes rhodolaema, but it cannot be a race of that species 

 as there are specimens of both species in th U. S. National Museum from 

 the same locality at sea-level in northern Dutch East Borneo. 



Females of Anthreptes malacensis bornensis differ from the same sex of 

 Anthreptes malacensis malacensis in being much deeper and brighter yel-

Enodes erythrophrys centralis, subsp. nov. 



Type, adult male, U. S. National Museum, No. 250862, Goenoeng 

 Lehio, Celebes, January 13, 1917. Collected by H. C. Raven (original 

 No. 3392). 



Similar to Enodes erythrophrys erythrophrys, but superciliaries orange 

 chrome not flame scarlet; rump and crissum lighter yellow; outer mar- 

 gins of wing feathers and upper surface of tail more greenish; and wing 

 and tail shorter. Wing, 109; tail, 106.5; culmen, 19; tarsus, 26.5; middle 

 toe, 21.5 mm. 



Remarks. — In addition to the type the present race is founded upon a 

 male from Winatoe, a male and two females from the Lindoe Trail, three 

 males and two females from Besoa, and a male from Rano Rano. For 

 comparison the collection contains a good series of northern birds. All 

 the specimens from the north have the peculiar superciliary feathers 

 flame scarlet while the form from the north central part of the island 

 has these feathers orange chrome; this is the most striking difference and 

 seems to be constant, the other characters, except size, are only average 

 and inconstant. 



The two series average as follows:
