Six examples were obtained b}'- Doctor Abbott: 



Adult male, U.S.N.M. No. 174761; Bunguran Island, June 23, 

 1900. Length in flesh, 140 mm. 



Adult male, U.S.N.M. No. 174763; Bunguran Island, July 2, 1900. 

 Length in flesh, 140 mm. "In dense jungle on Gunong Ranay." 



Adult male, U.S.N.M. No. 174766; Bunguran Island, July 26, 1900. 



Adult male, U.S.N.M. No. 174764; Bunguran Island, July 16, 1900. 

 Length in flesh, 143 mm. 



Adult female, U.S.N.M. No. 174762; Bunguran Island, June 25, 

 1900. Length in flesh, 143 mm. 



Adult female, U.S.N.M. No. 174765; Bunguran Island, July 16, 

 1900. Length in flesh, 143 mm. 



Three of these (Nos. 174762, 174764, and 174765) show indications 

 of molt among the contour feathers, and No. 174765 also in the wing 

 quills. The first two listed (Nos. 174761 and 174763) are in worn 

 summer plumage still without evidence of molt. Like birds of this 

 species from the Anamba Islands these from the Natuna Islands 

 appear to average slightly darker than specimens of the tj^pical race 

 from the southern part of the Malay Peninsula, but there is not enough 

 tangible and constant difference in the present series to warrant any 

 subspecific separation, so that for the time being at least we refer 



•»• The original spelling of the specific name of this species is as here given.
