214 BIRDS FROM FLORES , SAMAO AND TIMOR. 



Since that time we received three other specimens of this 

 long overlooked species from Prof. Max Weber, who col- 

 lected them at Maumeri and Reo on the South Coast of 

 Flores ; and two specimens from Endeh , also South Coast 

 of Flores , which are contained in Dr. ten Kate's present 

 collection , prove to belong to the same species, while a third, 

 collected at Kupang (Timor), has the silvery edgings to the 

 crown which are particular to T. timoriensis. 



The specimen from Sumbawa, presented by Mr. van 

 Lausberge, is not fully adult. The knob on the culmen 

 is feebly developed, the whitish collar on the hind neck 

 very conspicuous , throat and chest are not as white as 

 in the adult , but strongly tinged with olive brown , and 

 the feathers on the back show conspicuous terminal white 

 edgings. 



17. Ptilotis limhata (S. Mull.). 

 One specimen from Kupang (Timor). 



18. Ptilotis reticulata (Temm.). 

 Three specimens from Kupang (Timor). 



19. Myzomela vulnerata (S. Mull.). 



An adult female from Kupang (Timor). 



20. Zosterops citrinêlla? Bp. 



Two specimens from Kupang and two from Amarassi 

 (Timor). All four specimens differ from our typical Z. ci- 

 trinêlla in being much paler. The upper surface is olive 

 green with a very strong grayish tinge , the lower silvery 

 gray instead of isabelline. The yellow on the front does 

 not extend over the upper surface of the head, this latter 

 being of the same color as the back , and the yellow on the 

 throat is not spread over the upper breast. These diflFe- 

 rences would be sufficient to base a new species upon , but
