it would be rash to attempt to group the various forms, and therefore I use at 

 jircsent binomials for hMni and minor.* 



Mr. Kiihn sent the following specimens of C. kilhid : 



() (J (J, 2 ??,3 not sexed, Wetter, September, October 1902. (Nos. 5489— 

 3491, 5564 — 5566, 5652, 5653, three without numbers.) 



2 33, 5 ??, Roma, August 1902. (Nos. 5538, 5563, 5823-5825, two 

 without numbers.)

ARTAMIDAE. 

 138. Artamus leucorhynchus (L.). 

 6 (?cf, 3 ? ?, Wetter, September 1902. (Nos. 5458—5466.) 

 Finsch got it from Babber and Wetter. 



139. Artamus perspicillatus Bp. 



Arlamus per»picillatug Bonaparte, Comp. Ar. i. p. 344 (ex Temminck's MS., Timor). 



These specimens are somewhat darker on the abdomen than two from Timor, 

 but I believe the reason is merely that they are in worn plumage, while those from 

 Timor are perfectly fresh and beautiful.

 5925, 6025, 6053, 6054, 6464, 6463.)
