LAMPBOCORAX PANAYENSIS HETEROCHLORUS Oberholser 



Lamprocorax panayensis heterochlorus Oberholser, U. S. Nat. Mus. Bull. 98, p. 

 57, June 30, 1917. ("Pulo Mobur, Anamba Islands.") 



The form of this species found in the Natuna Islands is apparently 

 the same as that of the bird from the Anamba Islands. The range of 

 Lamprocorax panayensis heterochlorus therefore comprises the Anamba, 

 Natuna, and Tambelan Islands. 



Doctor Abbott obtained the following 5 specimens during his 

 sojourn in the Natuna Islands: 



Adult male, U.S.N.M. No. 174730, Pulo Laut, August 7, 1900. 



Adult male, U.S.N.M. No. 174727, Pulo Midei, May 23, 1900. 



Adult female, U.S.N.M. No. 174728, Pulo Midei, May 23, 1900. 



Female in first nuptial plumage, U.S.N.M. No. 174726, Pulo 

 Midei, May 23, 1900. 



Juvenal female, U.S.N.M. No. 174729, Bunguran Island, July 24, 

 1900. 



Only one of these shows any evidences of molt, the adult male, No. 

 174730, taken on August 7, which is in the midst of change of both 

 wing quills and contour feathers. This indicates a rather later molt- 

 ing season for this species than prevails in some of the other birds of 

 the Natuna Islands. 



The Juvenal plumage is very different from that of the adult, being 

 dark browTi above, including wings and tail, with very little metallic
