48. Dicrurus snlnensis Hart. = Dicrurus hracteatus svluensis. 



IHcrvrus svluensis Hartert, Nov. Zool. 1902. p. 441 (Sulu Islands). 



Type: <J ad., Maimbun, Sulu Islands, 23. iv. 1883. Dr. H. Guillemard 

 leg. 



49. Dicruropsis guillemardi Salvad. = Dicrurus hracteatus guillemardi. 



Dicruropsia guillemardi Salvadori, Aggiunte Om. Pajmasia, ii. p. 94 (Mem. R. Accad. Torino, xi, 

 p. 220) (1890— Bisa). 



Type : $ Island of Bisa, Obi group, 13.x. 1883. Dr. H. Guillemard leg. 



Salvadori named this form, without having seen the skin, from Guillemard 's 

 remarks about his single specimen. I had overlooked the name ijuillemardi 

 when describing dohertyi. 



t 50. Dicrurus dohertyi Hart. = Dicrurus hracteatus guillertiardi. 



Dicrurus dohertyi Hartert, Nov. Zool. 1902. p. 441 (Obi Major). 



Type : S ad., Obi Major, September 1897. W. Doherty leg. 

 In these birds males and females differ much in size, and probably the 

 former only have the long frontal bristles. 



51. Dicrurus meeki Rothsch. and Hart. = Dicrurus (hracteatus) meeki. 



Dicrurus meeki Rothschild & Hartert, Nov. Zool. 1903. p. 110 (Guadalcanar). 



Type : S ad., Guadalcanar, Solomon Islands, 24. v. 1901. A. S. Meek leg. 

 No. 3188. 



52. Cbibia carbonaria dejecta Hart. = Dicrurus (hracteatus) dejectus. 



Chibia carbonaria dejecta Hartert, Nov. Zool. 1898. p. 522 (Sudest I.). 



Type : cJ ad., Sudest Island, Louisiade group, 24. iv. 1898. A. S. Meek 

 leg. No. 1788. 



This and meeki are of course subspecies of. each other and of carhonarius, 

 but can no doubt be associated \\ith hracteatus, to which carhonarius is sub- 

 specifically allied. 



53. Dicrurus kahni Hart. = Dicrurus densus kiihni. 

 Dicrurus kiihni Hartert, Nov. Zool. 1901. p. 170 (Tenimber Islands). 



Type: o ad., Larat, Tenimber Islands, 28.1.1901. Heinrich Kiilm leg. 



No. 3078. 



54. Dicrurus hottentottus manumeten Stres. = D. (hracteatus ?) manumeten. 

 Dicrurus hottentottus manumeten Stresemann, Nov. Zool. 1914. p. 148 (Ceram). 



Type: tj, Manusela, Ceram (Seran), 2. vi. 1911. Erwin Stresemann leg. 

 No. 739. 



I do not think that one can go so far as to place this form as a subspecies 

 of the Indian hottentottus \Wth its huge frontal hairs, but it might be a form of 

 the hracteatus group, though rather different. D. densus densus, D. densus 

 megalornis, and D. densus kiihni form a group by itself, with very long tails and 

 high beaks.
