90 REVIEW OF THE 
Rhipidura saturata Salvad. Ann. Mus. Civ. Genova, XIV, p. 497 
(1879); Orn. Pap. II, p. 58 (1881). 
Four specimens (males and females) from Aru (von Ro- 
senberg, 1865), a male from Haruko, a small island east 
from Amboina (Hoedt, 1863), one specimen from Mysol 
(von Rosenberg, 1866), two specimens from Salwati (Bern- 
stein, 1863), a young female, the type of R. saturata 
Salvad., from Salwati (Bernstein, 1863) and two males from 
Sorong, New Guinea (Bernstein, 1864). 
In accordance with Dr. Sharpe I consider the female 
specimen in our Museum, described as RR. saturata by 
Count Salvadori, to be the immature stage of R. maculi- 
pectus, a stage showing very much analogy with that of 
RR. threnothorax, described as FR. fumosa by Schlegel. This 
analogy consists especially in the uniform color of the 
plumage, the shortness of the wing (7,2 cm. instead of 
8,2), the black tip to the lower mandible and the nearly 
unspotted chest, while the white-tipped tail, the black 
throat and the sooty brown general color at once indicate 
its belonging to R. maculipectus. R. fumosa and PR. satu- 
rata once admitted as the young stages of R. threnothoraxr 
and A. maculipectus, the idea must entirely be abandoned 
that the form I described above under the name of R. ro- 
senbergi, after all might turn out to be some immature 
stage of A. maculipectus.
