 4391, 4406, 4484, 4991, 5038, A. S. Meek Coll.) 



These specimens clearly do not belong to C. papuensis meeldana R. ife H. 

 {Nov. Zool. 1912. p. 201), which is much paler on the chest and throat. 



J 129. Coracina longicauda De Vis.

130. Edoliisoma amboinense miilleri Salvad. 



[Campephiifja ainboinensift Hartlaub, Joitrn. f. Orii. 1865. p. 156. Amboina.] 



Ceblept/rix /tlumbea S. Miiller, .Va*. Gesrli. Ned. Over::. Bez., Vei-h. Land- en Volkenhinde p. 189 

 (1839-1844— Partim, e.\ Nova Guioea tantum) ; terra typica Utanata River, S.W. Papua. 



[The name has generally been rejected by Salvador! and others, because Wagler, Sijsl. .4r., 

 under the genus Cerrux, among the species wrongly placed in the latter, says that the Carvus 

 noviie-guineiie of Gmelin should be looked up under " Ceblepi/i: pluinh." Evidently Wagler 

 invented the latter name as a substitute for the Corvim norae-gnhieae, which is neither a Curvus 

 nor does it occur in New Guinea ; Wagler was prevented, by his untimely death, from 

 publishing his full account, but the name Ceblepyris plumheti might be construed as being fixed. 

 Dr. van Oort does not share this view, but looks upon " Cehlepyr. plumb." as a nomen nudum. 

 Both points of view have something to recommend them, but we prefer to accept that of 

 Salvadori.] 



Edoliimma amboiueusis miilleri Rothschild and Hartert, Nov. Zool. 1903. p. 208. 



Edoliisoma plumbea van Oort, Nova Guinea ix., Zool., livr. i. p. 88 (1909— Noord River and 

 Sabang). 



? jnn. ; Setekwa River, 20. vi. 1910. (No. 4207, A. S. Meek Coll.) 

 The specimen is very pale nnderueath, with rather little spotting. 



131. Edoliisoma schisticeps poliopse Sbarpe.

 (Nos. 4574, 4625, 4649, 4750, 4923, A. S. Meek Coll.) 



" Iris in both sexes dark brown ; bill and feet black." 



The male appears to be indistinguishable from that of ^. schisticeps schisticeps, 

 while the female diifers by the slate-grey colour of the chin, cheeks and ear- 

 coverts.
