7. LEUCOTRERON FISCHERI CENTRALIS (Meyer) .2« 



One female, Toewo Mountain, Besoa, November 3, 1917; five males 

 and two females, Rano Rano, December 11-28, 1917. 



I have none of the races of Leucotreron -fisGheri for comparison, 

 but from the locality, the above specimens belong to Meyer's bird, 

 which, judging from descriptions alone, is only a form of the older 

 race. 



8. LEUCOTRERON EPIA Oberholser.^^ 



One male, Paleleh, November 10, 1916; one female, Laboea Sore, 

 November 21, 1916; two males and one female, Gimpoe, August 13- 

 22, 1917; one male and one female, Pinedapa, January 12, and Feb- 

 ruary 4, 1918. 



The male taken at Paleleh is immature but almost adult. The 

 crown, occiput, and cheeks have a greenish wash; the bill is dark, 

 otherwise it is much like the adult, though smaller. The rectrices 

 are narrower than in the adult and are 15 in number; 14 seems to be 

 the normal condition.
