 brown, upper mandible black, lower mandible pale, gajie yellow." (Migi-ant from the 

 north.) 



Though (inly a winter vii^itor to the trojacal islands, this species was first 

 described from Batjan, where Wallace had obtained it.

 type and locality of type, and misuse of name).

 Dierk. 1859. p. 12. PL I. f. 21 (1859). (The type of C. validm is also the type of 

 C. validissimiis, teste Biittikofer, I.e.) 



Mr. Lucas sent two examples of this crow with its large and long beak, and 

 strongly arched upper mandible. The native name is " Burong gaga." 



This species is only known from Halmahera, Batjan, and Obi. It is not a 

 representative form of Corvus orru, as both occur on Obi Major, and are easily 

 distinguishable from each other. 



62. Lycocorax obiensis Bcrnst. 



Lycocorax obiensis Bernst., J. /. (>. 1864. ]>. 410 (( )bi). 



A common bird on Obi Major, where it was disco\ere(l by Bernstein, and 

 afterwards obtained by Bruijn's hunters, by Guillemard {P. Z. S. 1885. p. 573), by 

 Doherty, Lucas, and Waterstradt. Doherty marked the iris as crimson, bill and feet 

 black. Young birds seem to have a brown iris. The native name is, according to 

 J>ucas, "Burong andjing." I am inclined to treat all three Lycocorax as subspecies- 

 L. pi/rrhoptervs pyrrhopterns, Halmahera ; L. pyrrhopterus ohiensis, Oh\ ; L. 

 pyrrhoplerue morote'iuiia, Morotai and Kau.
