Zoste)-ops t^avifsimd is a \-ery distinct form. It is probably nearest related to 

 Z. intermedia, though it differs from the latter in the much more yellow ui)perside, 

 brighter and more golden yellow lores and forehead, and smaller blackish spot under 

 the eyes. In appearance Z. stiMmanni, from Africa, is most similar to Z.Jlavissiriia, 

 being about as yellow above and below ; but the bill of Z. stiMmanni is stronger 

 and all black alio\e and below, and the white ring round the eyes is less wide. 

 M. Kiihn describes the iris of Z. flavis&ima as chocolate (bright chocolate, pale 

 chocolate), the feet as yellowish grey (bright yellowish grey, pale plumbeous), the 

 bill blackish above, pale below.

 greyish below." (No. 4154, H. Kiihn coll.) This specimen is paler and less rufous 

 than a dozen esamiiles from JIakassar. A series from Buton might possibly show that 

 tlie Buton form is separable as a paler subspecies (?).
