149. GRAUCALUS TEMMINCKI TEMMINCKI (S. Muller). 



One male, Paleleh River, August 16, 1914. 



Of a much deeper blue than the form listed below, with the bill of 

 a different color; dusky horn-color at the tip for about half its 

 length. Tlie bill is also smaller. It measures, wing, 151.5; tail^ 

 145.5 ; culmen, 23. The different color of the bill is due, evidently, to 

 immaturity. 



150. GRAUCALUS TEMMINCKI TONKEANUS (Meyer) .s< 



A good series of both sexes from: Lindoe Trail, February 26, 

 1917 ; Rano Lindoe, March 9, 1917 ; Toewo Mountain Besoa, October 

 27-November 3, 1917; Rano Rano, December 11-26, 1917. 



The above series is uniformly of a much lighter blue and have 

 larger bills than the single specimen of Graucalus temmincki tem- 

 mincki. The immature has the tips of the tail feathers and inner 

 remiges edged with white, and the tip of the bill horn color. Judg- 

 ing from this, the Paleleh specimen {G. t. terrmdncki) is not fully 

 adult. Tlie above series may not belong to G. t. tonkeanus^ as no 

 specimens from the type locality are available to me for comparison, 

 but they agree with the description. 



Five males measure: Wing, 161-171 (165.2) ; tail, 143-161 (152.7) : 

 culmen, 25-27 (26), and 12 females: Wing, 155.5-168.5 (162.3) ; tail, 

 143.5-164 (153.7) ; culmen, 24^26.5 (25.4). 



151. EDOLISOMA MORIO MORIO (S. Muller). 



A small series of both sexes from: Kwandang, September 16, 

 1914 ; Likoepang, February 24-March 12, 1916 ; Ayermadidi, May 4, 

 1916; Laboea Sore, November 24, 1916; Rano Lindoe, March 14-21, 

 1917; Gimpoe, August 4-10, 1917; Toewo Mountain, Besoa, October 

 29, 1917. 



I can detect no differences between the females from the extreme 

 northern end of the island and those from the region in the vicinity 

 of Lake Lindoe. 



Males with the whole throat and chest blackish, apparently acquire 

 this plumage at the first breeding season as two males from 

 Likoepang still show signs of immaturity, though the throats and 

 chests are blackish, in fact one (No. 249274) is the most highly 

 developed in this respect of any bird in the series, yet the under 

 wing coverts are cinnamon; the other (No. 249273) has in addition 

 to the cinnamon under wing coverts some buff and black-barred 

 feathers on the breast, yet the throat and chest are blackish. A 

 male from Rano Lindoe, March 21 (No. 251043), has only the 

 chin, lores, and auriculars black, the remainder of the lower parts
