shown in his plate. It may be that the birds from the north and 

 central pa,Yt of the island are different from those of the south, but 

 I have none of the latter for comparison. Hitherto the species has 

 only been found in the south and central part of the island. The 

 series measures as follows:

143. HYPOTHYMIS PUELLA PUELLA (Wallace). 



A fine series of both sexes and immature from: Paleleh River, 

 August 17, 1914; Kwandang, September 15-19, 1914; Kapas Bay, 

 November 19, 1914; Toli Toli, December 3-19, 1914; Tandjong Pen- 

 joe, February 19, 1915; Teteamoet, February 3, 1916; Likoepang, 

 March 4-12, 1916 ; Ayermadidi, April 1-4, 1916 ; Pulo Lembeh, June 

 13, 1916; Manembo Nembo, June 22, 1916; Rano Lindoe, March 

 7-21, 1917; Gimpoe, August 3-24, 1917; Pinedapa, February 2-4, 

 1918. 



This series shows quite a little variation, some specimens being a 

 much deeper blue than others, but this condition does not seem to be 

 geographic as both styles occur at the same locality. An immature 

 taken at Gimpoe, August 11, has the back fuscous; a narrow dusky 

 drab band across the chest ; breast and abdomen whitish ; the pileum, 

 cheeks, and throat, slate blue ; wings chaetura drab, the lesser wing- 

 coverts bluish ; tail chaetura drab with a bluish tinge. 



The type of Myiagra puella Wallace ^^ came from Celebes, as 

 stated by the describer, not from the Sula Islands as stated by 

 Meyer and Wiglesworth 2« ; the bird of the latter group has been 

 separated by Hartert " as Hypothymis puella hlasii.

 1917 ; Toewo Mountain, Besoa, October 27-November 4, 1917 ; Rano
