358 N0VITA*ES ZOOLOGICAE XXV. 1918. 



C. uhehensis Rchw. cannot, from the description, be phaeonota (and prob- 

 ably Erlanger did not mean to say so, though he emphatically did !), nor can we 

 understand Mr. C. Grant saying that it is a synonym of C. g. longipennis, when 

 he had not seen specimens. Though the description does not sound very con- 

 vincing, nobody is justified in neglecting this form without having compared 

 Uhehe specimens. 



Geopelia maugeus (Temm.). 



We have to regard Timor as the typical locality of Temminck's " Columba 

 Maugeus" a name which we cannot alter into " maugei," as has been done by 

 many ornithologists. From Timor tj'pical mavgevs extends east and west, to 

 Alor, Kisser, Wetter, Savu, Flores, Sumbawa and Sumba, and on the other side 

 to Roma, Letti, Moa, Luang, Sermatta, and Babber, and H. Kiihn also obtained 

 a fine adult male on Tomia Island in the Tukang Besi group, S.E. of Celebes. 



The species also occurs still further east, on the Tenimber Islands, m the 

 Key group, and the little islands to the north, where Kiihn collected specimens 

 on Taam, Manggur, and Kilsuin m the Koor group. These latter, however, from 

 Tenimber, Key, Taam and Kilsuin are slightly different, the black bars on the 

 hind-neck and na23e being wider, so that the barring there appears heavier ; the 

 same is generally noticeable on the foreneck and breast, but not constant. This 

 form, in any case, is well separable, and we propose to name it : 



Geopelia maugeus audacis, subsp. nov. 



Type: <? Larat, Tenimber, 17.1.1901. H. Kiihn coll., No. 3020 (Tring 

 Museum). There are 14 others from Tenimber, Little Key, Taam and KUsuin, 

 all collected by H. Kiihn, which we compared with 60 of the typical form.
