on the breast. It most resembles C. aurora, but the male of that species has a 

 broad deep orange band quite across the breast and pure white tips to the outer 

 rectrices. From C.frenata and its allies it differs in having an orange spot on the 

 breast, no indication of a pale stripe under the eye and ear-coverts and no line above 

 the eye, and no pure white tips to the outer rectrices. 



Dr. Biittikofer, in his article on the Sumba birds in Notes Ley den Mus. XIV. 

 p. 201, has already described the females of this form, the differences of which from 

 C. pectoralis struck him very much ; but having no males, he cautiously refrained 

 from describing them under a new name. I therefore take a pleasure in naming this 

 bird after him. 



-V 



11. Stig-matops ocularis (Gould). 



A number of both sexes. I do not find any differences between specimens from 

 Sumba, Sambawa, Lombok, and other islands. 



12. Philemon neglectus (Biittik.). 

 Two specimens which agree with skins from Lombok and Sambawa. 



13. Zosterops aureifrons Wall. 



A fine series, exactly like the types and those from Sambawa. " Iris dull 

 ferruginous ; bill black ; base of mandible and surrounding of nostrils pale corneous ; 

 feet dull slate-colour." 



*14. ? Zosterops citrinella Bp. 



One female with the sides of the body very pale. Farther material must be 

 awaited, for at present it seems impossible to make out whether this is an individual 

 variety or belongs to a distinct species. 



15. Anthus rufulus medius Wall. 



The commonest bird on the island. Exactly like specimens from Lombok and 

 Sambawa (antea, p. 558). " Iris dark umber-brown ; maxilla deep brown ; mandible, 

 except tip, pale yellowish." 



Wings 83 mm. 



16. Sporaeginthus flavidiventris (Wall.). 

 Two females and one young male. 



*17. Taeniopygia insularis (Wall.). 



A fine series of specimens of both sexes, agreeing with typical examples from 

 Timor and Flores. 



18. Munia punctulata nisoria (Temm.). 

 Both sexes in some number. 



*19. Munia molucca propinqua (Sharpe). 



A small series of very typical propinqua. <?. " Iris deep brown; maxilla black ; 

 mandible silvery bluish grey."
