One specimen , labelled as a female , is in no respect 

 different from the male of D. keiense Salvad., of which 

 two males and one female are in the Leyden Museum. In 

 want of a male specimen and finding no description of 

 the female of D. fulgidum, I cannot but with some hesi- 

 tation accept the name of fulgidum for the mentioned 

 specimen.

Two adult specimens. 



A careful comparison of the two mentioned specimens 

 with our series from Khor Island is not able to show any 

 difference neither in color nor in size between the specimens 

 from Khor and Timor-Laut. Dr. Meyer (1. c.) has based his 

 St. Salvadorii upon its smaller size , the difference in color 

 of the moustachial stripe, and the more largely extended 

 squamation on the cheeks. Amongst our specimens from 

 Khor the moustachial streak in all the males is olivaceous , 

 in all the females dull gray , and certainly the specimen 

 from Khor used for comparison by Dr. Meyer was a male. 

 In well-conditioned specimens the squamation is as much 

 extended in the Tenimber birds as in those from Khor, and 

 the measurements hardly will allow a separation, as the 

 specimen selected by Count Salvadori as type and used for 

 the measurements is the largest amongst our whole series.
