Hab. Bouru, Amboyna, Ceram [Wall.) : type form. 



Aru Is., New Guinea {Wall.)-, Salwatty, Ke Is. [Mus Lugd.); 

 B. stenozona, Timor {Wall.): smaller form. 



Bill black, the base and cere lead-colour ; feet bluish-white ; 

 iris yellow. The orbits and eyes of these birds are exceedingly 

 large. 



I agree with Prof. Schlegel that the birds from the Papuan 

 group named B. stenozona by Mr. G. Gray (before he had ob- 

 tained specimens of B. reinwardti) cannot be separated. The 

 Timor birds are perhaps more distinct, as they are about an 

 inch shorter in the wing, and have the concealed white spot on 

 the tcrtiaries and their coverts larger, as well as the terminal 

 black band on the tail narrower, as it is also in B. stenozona.

My specimens fully bear out the distinctness of this species.

Bill lead-colour, black above ; feet white ; iris yellow. 



The Bornean specimen in the Leyden Museum probably be- 

 longs to the next species.
