fischeri, Briigg. 
fischeri, subsp. meridionalis (Meyer & Wiglesw.). 
marchii, Oust. 
This species, previously only known from the Type in Paris, has recently been 
obtained by Mr. Whitehead in the highlands of Lepanto, North Luzon, cf. 
Grant, Ibis, 1895, pp. 468, 469 ; Whitehead, Ibis, 1899, p. 486. 
roseicollis (/ayl.). Five. 24 (ljr.), 9. Java (Bantam Residency, 
Kosala, June, July). 
No. 1, g, obtained by Mr. H. O. Forbes at Kosala, W. Java, has a large violet 
spot in the centre of the belly beneath the bottle-green pectoral band. 
albocinctus, Vall. Two. 6, 9. Lombok (Rinjani, at 2500 ft., June, 
July). 
albocinctus, subsp. baliensis, Hart. Nov. Zool. iii. p. 553 (1896). 
** Mr. Doherty sent three skins from Bali, shot in heights of 2000 to 3000 feet, in 
April. They differ from the Type of P. a/bocinctus in the British Museum, in 
having the wing a little shorter, the upper surface and especially the greater 
wing-coverts with a purplish coppery gloss. All these characters are found in 
P. albocinctus typicus, of which I have a large series befcre me now, but only in 
immature individuals. I see no reason to assume that the three birds from Bali 
are immature, and therefore think that they belong to a slightly differentiated, 
and perhaps a little degenerated, form of P. albocinctus. Wing, 150-153 mm. 
This species was hitherto only known from Flores, but inhabits, as the collec- 
tions now under my hands prove, all the islands between Flores and Java. 
According to Doherty the iris of the Bali form is orange red, the feet vermilion, 
the beak ochreous, basally bluish.” (Zartert). Habitat. Bali. 
everetti, Rothsch. Bull. B.O.C. li. pp. 34, 35 (1898) ; id. Ibis, 1898, p. 295. 
** This species may be described as being between P. cinctus and P. albocinctus. It 
differs from P.. cinctus in having the throat and neck white with fine, narrow, 
wavy, very pale grey cross lines—instead of white washed with lemon yellow— 
and in having a wider and lighter terminal bar across the tail feathers. P. 
albocinctus has the throat and neck bluish grey, and the abdomen darker, the bar 
across the tail narrower. _P. ettiensis differs in having the neck and throat ivory 
white and the end of the tail yellowish white not pale grey.” (Rothschild). 
Habitat. Island of Alor (Timor Group). 
cinctus (Zemm.). Three. @. Timor, July. 
No. 1, ?, was collected by S. Miiller, on the voyage of the Triton. 
cinctus, subsp. lettiensis, Schleg. 
alligator, Collett. P.Z.S. 1898, pp. 354, 355, pl. xxix. (Type in Brit. Mus.). 
**Head and upper neck white ; lower neck and chest whitish cinnamon; mantle 
slate black ; lower back greyish black ; rump and_ upper tail-coverts clear grey, 
the latter inclining to whitish. Lower parts ashy grey, separated from the 
chest by a broad black band on the lower breast, sharply defined against the 
chest. Wings slate black, lower surface of the quills grey, the coverts more 
greyish brown. ‘Tail slate black, with an apical greyish white band about one 
and half inches in breadth ; under surface of the tail clearer grey ; under tail- 
coverts whitish. Bill (in skin) light coloured, the tips yellowish, feet reddish. 
Wing—Male, 184; female, 189mm. Tail—Male, 142; female, 141mm.” (Collett). 
Halitat. Arnhem Land, N. Australia. 
gularis ((). ¢ G.) Two. ¢. Celebes (Minahassa, August). 
subgularis, Meyer & Wiglesw. Abh. Mus. Dresd. 1896, No. 2, pp. 4, 6, 19; id. B. 
Celebes i. p. 606 (1898). 
“Like P. gularis, but the crissuam and under tail-coverts dark chestnut brown 
(instead of pale hazel), and the buff patch on the breast very weakly developed 
or almost obliterated. Wing, 159-171; tail, about 130; tarsus, about 25; 
exposed culmen, about 20 mm.” (Meyer & Wiglesworth). Habitat. Peling and 
Banggai Islands. 
mangoliensis, Rothsch. Bull. B.O.C. li. p. 34 (1898), id. Ibis, 1898, p. 295. 
** Belongs to Group A of the arrangement of the genus Pfi/opus in the ‘ Catalogue 
of Birds,’ Vol. xxi., and resembles P. subguaris, Mey. & Wiglesw., in the absence 
of the rust coloured spot on the abdomen ; but it differs from both P. gularis and 
P. subgwaris in being greenish yellow on the neck and under surface, all the 
feathers of these parts being light grey with broad greenish yellow borders.
