These five examples belong to a small race of the Javan 

 long-winged Goatsucker. Perhaps they may claim to be re- 

 garded as belonging to a distinct species ; for they are of a 

 much darker colour above, in hue resembling C.jotoka, their 

 markings are somewhat different, and the terminal white 

 spots of the two outer pairs of rectrices are very much less 

 developed, measuring only 1-37.
