BIRDS OF THE ANAMBA ISLANDS. 35 
Description.—Type, adult female, No. 171023, U.S.N.M.; Pulo 
Mata, Anamba Islands, August 29, 1899; Dr. W. L. Abbott. Sides of 
head and neck, pileum, cervix, back, and scapulars, slate gray;' 
rump and upper tail-coverts varying from slate gray to gray No. 8,1 
broadly and boldly barred with white and black, the white predomi- 
nating on the shorter coverts; tailslate black, irregularly tipped with 
white; wings slate black, all the quills tipped, the secondaries broadly, 
the primaries narrowly, margined exteriorly with white, and all the 
remiges broadly edged interiorly on basal portion with white; lesser 
and median wing-coverts, with outer webs of tertials, gray, like the 
back; greater coverts slate gray, narrowly margined with whitish; 
primary coverts and alula slate color, narrowly edged and broadly 
tipped with white; chin, throat, and jugulum gray No. 6,! slightly 
and obsoletely barred imperfectly in places with paler gray; rest of 
lower surface white, boldly barred with black, these bars much nar- 
rower on the crissum; lining of wing white, narrowly barred with 
black; ‘‘iris gray; bill black; feet dull black.” 
Measurements of type—Total length, 292.1 mm.; wing, 160; tail, 
112.5; exposed culmen, 26.5; tarsus, 27. 
The female type above described is the only specimen obtained by 
Doctor Abbott. It is about the size of Artamides sumatrensis bun- 
gurensis (Hartert),? from the Natuna Islands, but differs from the 
same sex of that race in the absence of ashy clouding on the posterior 
lower surface; the white and black bars being sharply contrasted, even 
more so than in Artamides sumatrensis sumatrensis; white bars of 
lower surface apparently broader; and lower back, rump, and upper 
tail-coverts more sharply banded with black and white. This new 
race may be distinguished from Artamides sumatrensis difficilis (Har- 
tert),? from Balabac Island, Philippine Islands, by its larger size, and 
in the female by the wider white bars on the posterior lower surface. 
Our single specimen of Artamides sumatrensis calopolius is appar- 
ently not fully adult, for the outer tail-feathers are tipped and sub- 
terminally mottled with dull white, and most of the primaries, all the 
secondaries, tertials, and primary coverts are broadly margined with 
white; while on the throat are seen some faint remnants of dark and 
light barring. 
Family MUSCICAPIDAE. 
CYORNIS BANYUMAS LAMPRA, new subspecies. 
Subspecific characters.—Similar to Cyornis banyumas philippinensis, 
but the male with upper parts of a lighter, brighter blue; anterior 
lower surface paler, more ochraceous (less tawny); posterior lower
