15. Ptilotis virescens Wall. 



Shot at " Labuan-Hadji " and in the hills of 1000 to 2000 feet. " Iris dark 

 brown ; feet slaty grey ; claws black ; bill black." ? wing about 5 mm. shorter. 

 See Gadow, Cat. B. Brit. Mm. IX. p. 248, PI. VII. 



16. Stigmatops ocularis (Gould) = Ptilotis limbata S. Milll. 



At elevations of 4000 and 5000 feet. 



The adult male has the throat whitish grey, the fore-neck pale grey with 

 whitish spots, the breast pale grey with white fringes to the feathers. Abdomen 

 and under tail-coverts whitish yellow ; top of the head brownish grey ; lores 

 darker. Wing 76 78 mm. The female has the chin and throat pale yellow, 

 the head above washed with greenish olive, the wing much shorter, only 

 6669 mm. The figure in Cat. B. Brit. Mus. IX. PI. VII. is that of a 

 female, not of a male, as supposed by the author. The young bird resembles 

 the female. ? . " Iris grey, inwardly brown;. bill black; feet slaty grey." 



About the occurrence of this species in Bali (where, however, Doherty did 

 not find it), see antea, p. 543, footnote. 



17. Philemon neglectus (Btittik.). 



In the low country and at 1000 feet above the sea. " Iris bleared whity 

 brown ; skin of head and neck black ; bill black ; feet dark slate-colour." The 

 Lombok birds agree with those from Sambawa, Sumba, and Flores. See Biittik., 

 Notes Ley den Museum XIII. p. 213. (Tropidorkynckus timoriensis Wallace, P. Z. S. 

 1863, p. 486, and Vorderman, t.c. p. 342.) 



18. Pycnonotus analis (Horsf.). 



At elevations of 2000 feet. The female of this species has the wing a little 

 shorter than the male. 



19. Anthus rufulus medius (Wall.). 



One male, shot at 4000 feet. 



It seems that all the skins of the group of Anthus rufulus from the Lesser 

 Sunda Islands belong to a grey form, characterised by a rather greyish upper 

 surface, a broad superciliary streak, rather white colour below, sharply streaked 

 breast. Wing 83 84 mm.; tarsus 26. It must either be a species, or, more 

 likely, a subspecies of A. rufulus. See Sharpe, Cat. B. Brit. Mus. XIII. p. 577. 



*20. Chlorura intermedia sp. nov. 



This species, or perhaps rather subspecies, is most closely allied to Chi. 

 hyperythra Rchb. of Java, but the upper tail-coverts are not dull orange, but 

 green with a slight orange wash. It is just as closely allied to Chi. borneensis 

 Sharpe from Kina Balu, but differs in a deeper tawny rufous breast, throat, 

 and sides of head and neck, and a purer tawny rufous abdomen. Chi. brunnei- 

 ventris Grant, of Luzon, is smaller, and has the abdomen not only in the middle, 

 but all over pale rufous.
