Two examples of this species have been obtained in North 

 Celebes by Dr. Meyer. 



Criniger aureus^ n. sp. 



Under surface bright golden yellow ; upper dark golden 

 olive, darkest on the head, ear-coverts, and cheek ; uropy- 

 gium lighter in shade than the back, upper tail-coverts still 

 more golden ; upper surface of wings like the back ; quills 

 on their inner webs brown, outer webs edged with golden olive ; 

 under shoulder-coverts bright golden ; inner webs of pri- 

 maries, commencing with the second and increasing in extent 

 on each succeeding quill, bordered with bright yellow ; upper 

 surface of rectrices dull golden rufous, each feather terminated 

 by a pure golden narrow band ; inner edges of all the rec- 

 trices, except the middle pair, pale yellow as seen from above, 

 bright yellow below ; the darker cheeks contrast strongly 

 with the golden yellow of the chin and throat ; lores yellow ; 

 bill and legs black. 



Described from a male obtained by Dr. Meyer in the To- 

 gian Islands. 



This species is nearly allied to C. longirostris, Wallace, but 

 differs by being somewhat smaller, by having a much shorter 

 bill, and by the bright golden colouring of its plumage. 



Cisticola Orayij n. sp. 



Forehead, crown, nape, sides of neck, breast, abdomer, 

 flanks, under and upper tail-coverts, and under carpal covers 

 unspotted rufo-fulvous, most intense on the head ; back ?id 

 quills dark brown, edged with rufo-fulvous ; rectrices (4rk 

 brown, tipped with rufo-fulvous.
