Obs. Messrs. Vigors and Horsfield considered this bird as iden- 

 tical with the Papuan Crow of Latham, but on coraparison I find 

 this is not the case ; it may ultimately prove to be an immature malė, 

 or a female of Grauc. melanops, but until future observation has 

 cleared up this point it \vill be better to characterize it as distlnct.

Obs. Nearly allied to Ceblepyris leucomela(^Campephaga leucomela, 

 Vig. and Ilorsf. ; Lanius Karu, Less.), but diftoriug from that spe- 

 cies in its smaller size, in thc grcater extcnt of the \vhite mark on 

 thc shoulders, and in nearly vajiting the stripe of uhitc which crosses 

 the secondaries.
