198 BIRDS FROM FLORES, SUMBA AND ROTTI. 



12. Terpsiphone a^nis (Blyth). 



Four adult males with the tail-feathers entirely white 

 and also the quills , the latter with the exception of the 

 tips, which are black. 



13. Alseonax latirostris (Gray). 



One specimen, the first instance, I believe, of the oc- 

 currence of this species as far east as the Flores- group of 

 Islands. 



14. Culicicapa ceylonensis (Swains.). 



One specimen , probably not fully adult , having some 

 yellow feathers on the gray throat. For the first time re- 

 corded from the Flores-group of Islands. 



15. Artamus leucogaster (Valenc). 

 Three specimens. 



16. Artamides Jloris Sharpe. 



A nestling in very interesting plumage , each feather 

 on bead, back, upper wing-coverts, throat and chest being 

 broadly tipped with white, and having before the white 

 tips a subterminal spot of black , giving the bird the ap- 

 pearance of being banded across with white and black. 

 All the quills are broadly tipped and edged with white 

 of a fulvous tinge, the tail-feathers with pure white. The 

 rump is nearly pure white , with but few indications of 

 dark cross-bars; breast, abdomen and under tail-coverts 

 pure white. A broad stripe below the eye , extending from 

 the base of the upper mandible to the ear-coverts , black , 

 very broad at base , feet and claws yellowish white. 



17. Lalage timoriensis (S. Miill.). 

 Two adult males , a female and a young bird. 



18. Dissemurus platurus (VieilL). 

 An adult bird , wanting the elongated tail-feathers.
