Hab. Volcano of Tambora, 1000 to 3000 feet high. 



*16. Mirafra horsfieldi parva (Swinh.). 



c? ad. Tambora, low country. Hardly distinguishable from some Australian 

 M. horsfieldi, and also very close to M.javanica, so that it is not easy to say, in my 

 opinion, to which of these forms it is closer allied. " Iris light brown; feet pale 

 reddish; maxilla blackish ; mandible dull ochreous." Wing 68; tail 48; tarsus 20; 

 culmen 13. 



Only known from Flores. 



*17. Anthus rufulus medius (Wall.). 



Lowlands of Bima and Tambora and hills at 3000 feet. All alike in colour. 

 " Iris brown ; feet dull ochreous ; maxilla dark brown; mandible pale ochreous." 



*18. Munia molucca propinqua Sharpe. 



Two males from Bima have a distinct patch of white, unbarred, on the sides of the 

 breast, by this as well as geographically belonging to the subspecies propinqua, to 

 which the specimens from Kalao must probably also be considered to belong (cmtea, 

 p. 168). 



Some young birds were shot at Tambora. 



19. Artamus leucogaster (Yalenc.). 

 Low country of Tambora and Bima. 



20. Calornis minor Bp. 

 Bima, low country. 



21. Eulabes veneratus (Bp.).

" Iris dark brown." Specimens from Flores are totally alike.
