204 BIRDS FROM FLORES , SUMBA AND ROTTI. 



feathers , which are not ashy gray , but sensibly tinged 

 with pale olive-green , in which character they agree with 

 M. topela. They are, however, undoubtedly to be united 

 with M. ni&oria. 



To M, nisoria also belong an adult and a young bird 

 from the lake of Toba , Central Sumatra , collected by Dr. 

 B. Hagen , though they seem to be in some way inter- 

 mediate between it and M. punctulata, having the brown 

 on the throat not extending as far down on the chest as 

 in the Javanese bird. The immature specimens, mentioned 

 by me in N. L. M. 1887, p. 71, with a query under the 

 name of 31. punctularia ^ will certainly also belong to M. 

 nisoria, since Count Salvadori, Ann. Mus. Civ. Genova , 

 1892, p. 31, refers the specimens from West Sumatra to 

 this species.
