92 REVIEW OF THE 
57. Rhipidura buruensis Wallace. 
Seven specimens, collected by Hoedt and Teysmann on 
the island of Bouru. This species is easily known by its 
ochraceous abdomen and under tail-coverts and the dirty 
white outer webs of the outermost pair of tail-feathers, 
while the rest of the tail is uniform sooty brown. 
58. Rhipidura cinerea Wallace. 
Hab. Ceram. 
This species is distinguished by its uniform sooty black tail. 
59. Rhipidura lenzi Blasius. 
Rhipidura lenzi Blas. J. f. O. 1883, p. 145 (Celebes); Meyer, 
Isis, I, p. 26 (1884); Forbes, P. Z. S. 1884, p. 431 (Amboyna); 
Salvad. Aggiunte alla Orn. Pap. pt. II, p. 77 (1890). 
Two males from Ceram(?) with the manuscript name of 
RR. forsteni Temm. '), and a female from Amboyna, col- 
lected by Hoedt in 1866. 
All three specimens agree in their coloration with the 
description as given by Dr. Blasius, only would it be better 
to choose, for the general color, the expression saturate 
cinerea instead of cinereo-nigra. Dr. Blasius’ bird is also a 
little larger than the three specimens in our Museum, 
but the individual difference in size in this group being 
rather considerable, this larger size is of hardly any spe- 
cific value.
