This species has hitherto net been foand in the Timor group of islands, but 

 Mr. Doherty obtained three young birds on the island of Satonda.

Three amle* and one female from Satonda. The MA&* agree very well with 

 the figure on Plate XXIX. and the description given on p. 511 of P. Zool. 8 

 Loud. 1885. They look much like T. ntflat*i Wall of Celebes, bat are dis- 

 tinguished by the absence of rnfons below, the abdomen being white in the middle, 

 barred on the sides, Tent and under tail-coverts very pale huff, with or without 

 distinct black bars. The middle line on the crown is narrow and ill-defined. The 

 fcmilc differs from the JMO&, having the throat black in the middle. I do not 

 understand Dr. Guillemard saying that the u black stripe on the throat of the male 

 bird is considerably more restricted " than in 7*. r*jfafxs. First of all he evidently 

 mixes up the sexes, the female only having a black throat, not the male, while the 

 sexes are nearly alike in T, ni/Halmt. The female of T. rMjfilatiu differs from its 

 male in being larger, with a longer wing, in the forehead being black, the throat 

 more whitish ; but the scapulars are in no way more mixed with rust-colour than

The black throat of the female of T. potcelU removes this species more from 

 T. ntflafot*, and suggests a closer relationship to T. teugoer than T, rt/M** shows.

VII. LEST OF THE BIRDS COLLECTED IX SIMBA. 



Few and small are the publications about the island of Snmba. In 1SS1 Dr. 

 A. B. Meyer published a fist of forty species of Snmba birds in the VerkaMdL der k. 

 k. zoolog. tot**. Gtsetttcka/t in ITfeit, pp. 75^767. Of these only two, viz. Nino* 

 rmdolfi and Gramealiu **m&emgi&, were described as new species, Tamygttajtkm* 

 meaalarkymdui* var. tumhmtif as a new subspecies. I: 8 Or. J. Buttikofer 

 enumerated, in Nate* Leydem Mus. XIV. pp. 196204, thirty-two species, of 

 which only eight were the same as those named by Dr. Meyer, and one a new 

 species, viz. Diememm wilkelmma-e. In the same year the latter author described 

 (Jfofe* Leyden J/iw. XIV. p. 267) the Gwfroyw which at first he had called 

 G. jmAaii as G. t/imebume sp. no v. Quite recently Buttikofer described a duck 

 from Snmba under the name of Amos mlvadorii (Notes Lcydem Jfus. XVIEE. 

 p. 59). The number of species thus known from Snmba was sixty-five, of which 

 six, viz. Ninox rudolfi, Grvmcalus atmbexsjf, Dicuemm vcilhelmimac, Tanyynatiau
