c? ad. Above dark green ; crown of head blue ; forehead black ; upper tail- 

 coverts with a slight orange wash. Tail black ; central rectrices and outer edges 

 of the rest dull green. Primaries black, with narrow outer edges of a yellowish 

 green. Secondaries with green outer margins, which increase towards the middle, 

 the innermost secondaries being nearly quite green. All the remiges with pale 

 rufous inner edges. Below deep tawny rufous, deepest on the breast. Sides 

 of body widely green. Wing 59 mm. The young are duller and have no black 

 and blue on forehead and crown. 



I confess that I felt somewhat uneasy about the differences of Chi. intermedia 

 from Chi. hyperythra, but the upper tail-coverts look certainly quite different 

 from the female of the Java species in the British Museum, and I have before 

 me now not less than nine specimens collected by Doherty, and exactly as many 

 sent by Everett all from Lombok, and in all ages and both sexes and certainly 

 none has the upper tail-coverts orange, but green with only a very slight orange 

 wash. $ juv. " Iris dark brown ; feet pale reddish ; beak black ; mandible with 

 yellowish white tip." Doherty shot them in the hills up to 4000 feet. 



21. Munia punctulata nisoria (Temm.). 



Common from 1000 to 3000 feet. " Iris dark brown; feet blackish; maxilla 

 black ; mandible slate-colour." Vorderman enumerates M. punctulata and M. nisoria 

 as occurring in Lombok. This is clearly a mistake. 



22. Munia leucogastroides Horsf. & Moore. 

 Met with at elevations of from 2000 to 6000 feet. Vorderman, t.c. p. 347. 



23. Munia wallacei Sharpe. 



Two males from about 2000 feet. " Iris dark brown; bill slate-blue; feet duller 

 slate-colour." Wing 56 mm. (M. quinticolor of Wallace's list, I.e.) 



24. Munia pallida Wall. 



<?, 2000 feet. " Iris dark brown; bill and feet slate-grey." 



*25. Sporaeginthus flavidiventris (Wall.). 



Found at elevations of 4000 and 5000 feet. " Bill scarlet ; culmen broadly 

 black ; iris scarlet; feet pale testaceous." 



26. Taeniopygia insularis (Wall.). 



From the low country up to 2000 feet. "Iris scarlet; bill orange ; feet pale 

 orange." Only known from Timor and Flores. Vorderman, t.c. p. 347. 



27. Calornis minor (Bp.). 



Met with frequently in the low country and up to 4000 feet above the sea. 



Lombok specimens are quite like those from Sambawa, Djampea, Saleyer, and 

 Bonthain Peak in South Celebes, while the Bali bird is C. chalybea or a small form 

 of it. (Antea, p. 546.)
