 white-grey on the apical half, black on the basal : " bill black,

Female. Like the male. 



Hob. Java, Lombock, Sumbawa, Flores, Solor, and Timor. 



Both the localities Sumatra and Malacca (Tristram) require con- 

 firmation ; the first is mentioned by Lesson and by Wallace (Ibis, 

 1865, p. 399), who most likely did so by mistake, instead of Flores, 

 which was omitted by him. 



Flores birds have the under tail-coverts with a slight grey wash, 

 instead of being pure white, and the vinous colour of the lower parts 

 covers a greater part of the abdomen.
