66. Artamides guillemardi. 



Graucalus guillemardi, Salvad. Ibis, 1886, p. 154. 



Artamides pollens (nee Salvad.), Guillem. P. Z. S. 1885, 

 p. 258. 



Artamides schistacea (nee Sharpe), Blasius, J. f. O. 1890, 

 p. 142. 



An adult and young male from Bongao, and an adult and 

 young female from Sibutu. 



The series now sent by Mr. Everett enables me to say 

 that the Sulu-Island Artamides cannot be referred to A. pollens 

 of the Ke group, and that Salvadori was apparently quite 

 right in separating it, as he has done under the name of 

 A. guillemardi. We have in the British Museum a female of 

 A. pollens from Ke Doulan, and on comparing this with the 

 female of A. guillemardi the latter is not only found to 

 be a much smaller bird, but has grey nasal plumes and 

 dusky-grey lores, instead of the black nasal plumes and 

 black lores of A. pollens ; it is also of a somewhat darker 

 slate-colour. The male bird very closely resembles A. schis- 

 tacea, with, which Prof. Blasius has identified it; but the 

 latter bird has not the black round the eye and over the 

 ear-coverts which is seen in A. guillemardi, while A. schis- 

 tacea has also a white lining to the quills. A. guillemardi is 

 also closely allied to A. mindorensis of Steere, which is, 

 however, lighter grey in colour. 



67. Edoliisoma everetti. 



Edoliisoma everetti, Sharpe, Bull. B. O. C. no. xii. p. x. 

 Mas a mari E. morionis, ex Celebes, vix diversus. Foem. 

 tamen gastrseo cinereo concolore facile distinguenda. 



An adult male and female from Bongao. 



The male of this species is very similar to E. morio of 

 Celebes, but it has more black at the base of the forehead 

 and over the eye, and has the quill-lining grey instead of 

 white, except on the second and third primaries, where it has 

 a whitish margin, whereas in E. morio the entire aspect 

 of the quill-lining is white. Total length 9 inches, culmen 

 0-75, wing 4'8, tail 3*7, tarsus 0*9.
