 all over. 



122. Zosterops grayi Wall. 



Zoslernps r,ra)/i Wallace, P. Z. S. 18G3. p. 404 (Key Islands). 



Mr. Kuhn sent a series from Add islet, north of Great Key, and one from Elat 

 on Great Key Island, where W. Doherty also obtained a female. It evidently does 

 not occur on Little Key (Toeal). Mr. Kiihn describes the iris as bright chocolate, 

 the feet as yellowish grey, yellowish plumbeous, bluish grey, the bill as black. 

 (Nos. 106, 2810, 2811, 2812, 2813, 2814, 2816.) 



The alleged occurrence of Z. grayi on the Aru Islands (teste Rosenberg) is 

 almost certainly erroneous. Zosterops novaegicineae is found on the Aru Islands, 

 for we have a specimen shot at Wokan by Mr. Kiihn. Z. noraeguincae is much 

 smaller than Z. graiji, has darker sides and no yellow lores or frontal band. 



123. Zosterops uropygialis Salvad. 



Zusteriips urn2>!/giiilis Salvador!, Ami. Mits. Civ. Gen, vi. p. 78 (1874 : Toeal, Key Islands). 



This bird is only known from Toeal, Little Key. Mr. Kiihn sent a fine series. 

 The iris he found bright chocolate-brown, the feet bright plnmbeous (bright grey, 

 ])lnmbeous), the bill brownish black. (Nos. 21, 115, 148, 261, 265, 369, 453, 489, 

 and some without numbers.)

 " Iris very dark brown (black), bill and feet black."

This form differs from C. a. aspasia in the steel-blue throat without a violet- 

 purple sheen. It can doubtless only be considered as a subspecies of the aspasia 

 group, like chlorocephala, Cornelia, christianae, corinna, mysorcnsis, ma/orensis, and 

 probably others more. In view of the occurrence (if there is no mistake about
