The wings of the Bnnguran specimens measure -rl to 0'2, thus varying ratlier 

 mncli. Also the length of the tails varies.

Grmirabiii cujns mas simillimus est mari (Jr. .smri'ifrensis, sed alis longioribus, 

 cujus femina differt a ft'mina (J. sunvitmi.vs abdomine, tergo nropygioque nubi-

Adult male. — Above and below slaty grey, becoming much paler on the aljdomen 

 and under tail-coverts, as well as on the rump and njiper tail-coverts ; on these 

 latter jiarts the feathers are tipped with ashy white. Wing-coverts like the back, 

 but narrowly edged with ashy grey. Quills and primary coverts black, narrowly 

 *dged with ashy grey on the outer webs, quills edged and washed witli a-;hy 

 white towards the bases of the inner webs. Tail black, central jiair of rect rices 

 washed with greyish brown on the basal portions, the lateral (shorter) pair ashy 

 towards the tip, the rest indistinctly tipped with ashy. Under wing-coverts jiale 

 grey. Total length about 10^ inches (in skin J ; wing (in three males), 6'0 to (i-? 

 (5-95 to fi-1 in G. sumatre?isis cJ) ; culmen, 1-22 ; tarsus, O'O to 0-'.).j ; tail, 4-7 fo 4-S 

 (4"o in <T. sumatrensis). 



Adult frmali'. — Similar to the uwlr, but the abdotuen white, irregularly bandccl 

 with blackish and clouded with grey, under tail-coverts white, each feather with 

 a black lunule and a short black line on the middle of the white shaft ; under 

 wing-coverts and axillaries white, barred with black. Feathers of the rump and 

 upper tail-coverts ashy, with a black cross-bar Itefore the broad white tip ; the 

 outer edges to tlie quills more white. Wing, (i-25 (5'7 to o'S in G. sninjitrrnsk ? ). 

 Iris of both se.xes yellowish white or very pale lemon yellow : bill, legs, and claws 

 black. 



Ildji. Bnnguran. 



The 7milr closely resembles that of G. sumatrensis, but the wing is much 

 longer. The fenmlr differs obviously from that of G. sumatrensis, the abdomen 

 being nut pure white, sharply banded with black, as in G. sumatre?isis, but the white 

 as well as the black bands are clouded over with grey ; the abdomen becomes 

 whiter towards the tail. The lower back, rump, and upper tail-coverts are also 

 more cloudy and much less sharply banded than in G. sumatrensis. 



That Bunguran possesses this very distinct species is especially interesting 

 since G. sumatretisis (Mlill.) is distributed over Malacca, Sumatra, and jiarts *\{ 

 Borneo (see Sharpe, Cat. B., iv., p. 12).
