6. Calornis sulaensis. 



Calornis obscura, var., Wallace, P. Z. S. 18G2, pp. 335, 343. 

 Calornis neglecta, pt., Sharpe, Ibis, 1876, p. 46 (wee Wald.). 



Adidt. Similar to C. chah/hea but with the tail perceptibly 

 lengthened, and the plumage duller and more brouzj' : " iris red " 

 (A. li. Wallace). Total length 9-3 inches, culmen 0-85, wing 4*2, 

 tail 3'65, tarsms 0"95. 



When I reviewed the genus Calornis in 1876, I took for granted 

 that the Sula Island species was the same as the Celebean bird ; but 

 I find now that they are distinct, the form from the Sula Islands 

 having a much longer tail than C. clialyhea or any of its subspecies, 

 resembling in this respect the C. mttallka group.
