Lophozosterops striaticeps, sp. nov. 



Type, adult male, U. S. National Museum, No. 251,151, Goenoeng 

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

 No. 3397). 



Above warbler green, the upper back with a few fine light yellowish 

 shaft streaks; the top of head dark neutral gray with fine white shaft 

 stripes; frons and lores buffy white; ear-coverts and cheeks lighter 

 gray than top of head, the white shaft streaks a little coarser; throat and 

 jugulum buffy white; rest of underparts lemon yellow; flanks pyrite 

 yellow; wings the color of the back, the primaries and outer secondaries 

 chaetura drab, except on the outer margin; bend of the wing margined 

 with light yellow; under wing coverts white with a yellowish wash; prim- 

 aries and secondaries where they rest against the sides of the body strongly 

 margined on the inner web and basally with yellowish white; tail chaetura 

 drab washed and margined with the color of the back. Wing, 63; tail, 45; 

 tarsus, 16.5; middle, toe, 10 mm. 



Remarks. — A good series was taken at Rano Rano and Besoa, in the 

 central mountainous part of the island. The type, from Goenoeng Lehio, 

 is brighter, more yellowish above and brighter below than the Rano-Besoa 

 series. Judging from the description and plate in Meyer and Wiglesworth* 

 the above is closely related to Lophozosterops squamiceps, from which it 

 differs in lacking the terminal edges of silvery gray to the feathers of the 

 top of the head; the throat buffy-white; the back of a different shade of 

 green; the lower parts brighter yellow; and there are other slight differences. 



Coracornis,f gen. nov. 



Apparently related to Pachycephala Vigors and HorsfieldJ but the 

 rictal bristles longer; the outer primary proportionally longer and broader; 

 rectrices broader, bluntly pointed (instead of obliquely rounded), and 

 the webs at the end semi-decomposed, giving a softer texture to the 

 feathers; nostril oval and parallel with the tomia (instead of short ovate 

 and oblique) ; and color pattern entirely different. 



Type and only known species — Coracornis raveni.
