Oriolvs niundvs Richmond, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., vol. 26, Feln-uary 4, 

 1903, p. 517 (Simalur Island, western coast of Sumatra). 



Three specimens: 



xVdult male. No. 179879, TLS.N.M.; Sibaho Bay, October 23, 1902. 

 " Bill purple pink, pale towards tip." 



Adult male, No. 179881, U.S.N.M. ; Sibabo Bay, October 22, 1902. 

 " Bill pink, pale towards tip; feet leaden; iris deep red." 



Juvenal male, No. 179880, U.S.N.M. ; Sibabo Bay, Simalur Island, 

 October 26, 1902. 



The adult male taken on October 22 shows some indications of 

 molt among the contour feathers; and the juvenal male is molting 

 both quills and contour feathers. The juvenile differs from the adult 

 in being of a duller yellow below ; duller, more olivaceous yellow 

 above; in having the middle tail-feathers brownish, overlaid with 

 yellowish olive, and the wing-quills deep brown or brownish black 

 edged with yellowish olive. 



These additional specimens bear out the characters of this oriole 

 originally given by Dr. C. W. Richmond ; ^ though Oriolus mwndus 

 is certainly but a subspecies of OHolu8 maculatus Vieillot, since 

 Oriolus maculatus richmondi ^ is intermediate, and by individual 

 variation bridges the gap in characters. 



Measurements of these specimens are given below.
