BIRDS OF THE ANAMBA ISLANDS. 53 
The following measurements of the adults of this race are all that 
could be taken with any reasonable accuracy, owing to the molting 
condition of the wings and tail, and it is possible that the wing and 
tail dimensions here given are, for the same reason, somewhat less 
than they should be.

KITTACINCLA MALABARICA HETEROGYNA, new subspecies. 
Subspecific characters—Similar to MNittacincla malabarica ochrop- 
tila,* but female very much darker, particularly on the throat, breast, 
and upper surface. 
Description—Type, adult female, No. 170918, U.S.N.M.; Pulo 
Riabu, Anamba Islands, August 18, 1899; Dr. W. L. Abbott. Head, 
neck, jugulum, back, scapulars, lesser and median wing-coverts, slate 
black; rump and upper tail-coverts pure white; greater wing-coverts, 
primary coverts, and wing-quills, dark brown, between sepia and clove 
brown, these coverts somewhat darker, the greater series narrowly 
margined externally with tawny; tail clove brown, the three outer- 
most pairs of rectrices with broad white tips on both webs, the fourth 
pair with a broad white tip confined to outer web; posterior lower 
surface tawny, the thighs and middle of abdomen somewhat whitish; 
lining of wing tawny, a little mixed with whitish and dusky. ‘‘Iris 
dark brown; feet fleshy white.” 
Measurements (of type).—Wing, 92 mm.; tail, 97.5; exposed culmen, 
15.5; tarsus, 24.5. 
Geographic distribution—Pulo Riabu and Pulo Pilmg, in the 
southern Anamba Islands. 
Unfortunately, we have no adult male of this new race, but the 
female is easily separable, not only from Kittacincla malabarica
