may be not true G. dUlwynni at all, but it agrees fairly well with 

 specimeixs from Johore and East Sumatra, except it has more black 

 in the mantle and the scapulars are scarcely washed with blue at 

 all. The tail is black, the inner webs of the feathers ochraceous 

 orange; the latter may be an indication that the specimen is not 

 fully adult. 



ENTOMOTHERA COROMANDA PAGANA Oberholser 



Entomothera coromanda pagana 0BB2iH0LSEK, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., vol. 



48, 1915, p. 648 (North Pagi Id., W. Sumatra). 

 Halycon coromanda minor Chasen and Kloss, Ibis, 1926, p. 281. 



One adult and one subadult female, Siberut; one adult male, 

 Sipora. 



These seem to be identical with North Pagi specimens. E. c. 

 neophora Oberholsei' from East Sumatra seems to be practically 

 identical in color with E. c. pagana, but the latter has a longer 

 wing. E. c. minor from Borneo is darker and smaller than E. c. 

 neophora. All these races have been founded on rather scanty 

 material, but as they show some slight differences are at least worthy 

 of provisional recognition. 



SAUROPATIS CHLORIS CHLOROPTERA Oberholser 



Sauropatis chloris chloroptera Oberholsek, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., vol. 55, 



1919, p. 379 (Sibabo Bay, Simalur Id.) 

 Halcyon chloris chloroptera Chasen and Kloss, Ibis, 1926, p. 282. 



One female, Siberut Island. 



The single female submitted agrees with a series from Simalur 

 Island. Sauropatis chloris amphiryta Oberholser of Nias hardly 

 differs in size or color from the Simalur bird and is hardly worthy 

 of recognition. Specimens from Engano Island are much smaller 

 than S. c. chloroptera and represent a well-marked race, Sauropatis 

 chloHs azela Oberholser.-^ We thus have two races on the islands 

 off the west coast of Sumatra : 



(1) Sauropatis chloris cMoroptera from Simalur south to the 

 Pagi Islands; and 



(2) Sauropatis chloris azela, confined to Engano. 



If the Nias bird were recognized, it would make a break in the 

 range of S. c. chloroptera which the slight differences assigned to 

 amiphiryta by its describer and shown by the specimens does not 

 warrant.
