NO. 2232. BIRDS FROM ISLANDS IX THE JAVA SEA—OBERHOLSER. 187 



entire lower surface, yellow, between lemon chrome and light cad- 

 mium, the throat almost pure lemon chrome; tail black, basally 

 edged on inner webs of the rectrices with lemon chrome, this color at 

 the base occupying practically all of the web; the two middle rec- 

 trices with a narrow tip of lemon clirome, and each succeeding pair 

 with an increasingly broad terminal band of the same color, this band 

 measuring on the outermost pair about 45 mm. in width; wings 

 black, the inner margins of the quills somewhat brownish; all the 

 primaries excepting the outermost narrowly margined exteriorly 

 with grayish white, this decreasing in length inwardly, the inner 

 feathers tipped with buffy white; secondaries rather broadly edged 

 on terminal portion of outer webs with wax yellow, the tertials 

 broadly margined on same part of outer vanes and narrowly tipped 

 on inner vanes with the same color; lesser and median wing-coverts 

 deep yellow hke the back; greater coverts, edge of wing, lining of 

 wing, together with broad tips of the black primary coverts, lemon 

 chrome; "iris deep red, feet leaden." 



This new subspecies differs from Oriolus maculatus ricJimondi 

 Oberholser ^ of the Pagi Islands, western Sumatra, in more golden 

 yellow upper and lower parts, more brightly yellow spots on tertials 

 and secondaries, and usually larger yellow wing-speculum. 



Three specimens are in the collection, all adults in good plumage, 

 though showing among the contour feathers slight indication of molt. 

 The feet of one of the males. No. 181521, U.S.N.M., are described on 

 the label as 'deaden blue"; the bill of the same specimen as "pale 

 purplish fleshy." Measurements are given below:

' Oriolus maculatus riclimondi Oberholser, Smithsonian Misc. Coll., vol. 60, No. 7, Oct. 26, 1912, p. 16 

 (North Pagi Island, western coast of Sumatra). It may be worth while to mention here that through some 

 inadvertence the original diagnosis of this form is not entirely correct, as printed, and therefore somewhat 

 misleading. The proper characterization is as follows: Similar to Oriolus maculatus maculatus, from Java, 

 but larger; yellow of upper and lower parts deeper and more tinged with orange; yellow tips on tertials and 

 iimer secondaries darker and duller, those on tertials larger on outer webs, but narrower, often practically 

 absent on inner webs, and yellow wing speculum smaller.
