One young male in first plumage (partially moulting : 

 24 December).

 yellow. Schadler]. 



After a careful examination of the material in our Mu- 

 seum I find that the true B. Reinwardti is confined to 

 Amboyna, Ceram and Burn, whereas the allied B. stenozona 

 ranges over New Guinea to Timor and the adjacent islands. 

 We possess specimens from the following localities: Flo- 

 res (Weber: y^ subcristata" Biittik.); Alor (v. Lansberge); 

 Timor (v. Rosenberg) ; Babber (Schadler) ; Aru Islands (v. 

 Rosenberg); Little Key (v. Rosenberg); Mysol (Hoedt);
