29. Gracupica tertia sp. nov. 



<? ad. Gracupica, capite, collo, gastraeo toto subcaudalibusque, remigibus ad 

 basin, tectricibus primariis, basi apicibusque rectricum (duabus mediis paullum 

 modo), subalaribus albis ; notaeo schistaceo-griseo, remigibus rectricibusque riigris, 

 secondariis caudaque, aeneo splendentibus. L. t. ca. 210 mm. ; al. 131 ; caud. 80; 

 culm. 25 ; tars. 24 mm. 



One single male, Bali, low country. 



This excellent new species differs from Gracupica melanoptera (Daud.), an 

 inhabitant of Java, in having the entire back, rump, upper wing- and upper tail-coverts 

 slaty grey instead of white. There is also a mixture of grey on the flanks, and the 

 feathers on the sides of the body and the lower abdomen have grey bases. 



30. Eulabes javanensis (Osbeck) typicus. 



At 2000 to 3000 feet. " Beak orange, yellow at the tip ; feet and wattles 

 yellow " (W. D.). 



31. Artamus leucogaster (Valenc.). 



2000 to 3000 feet. 



32. Dicrurus cineraceus (Horsf.). 

 Low country and 2000 to 3000 feet. " Iris scarlet ; beak and feet black." 



33. Dicrurus longus Bp. (?). 



There are several skins of a Dicrurus, very much like D. ater Herm. from 

 India, but evidently much smaller, with shorter tail and wings, although all the 

 skins are moulting, and it is, therefore, not worth while to give detailed measure- 

 ments. If, as I have no doubt, the Java bird differs from D. ater of India, the 

 name D. longus must stand for it, as there is no reason at all why D. macrocercus of 

 Vieillot should " pertain to the Java bird alone." The Bali birds belong most likely 

 to the form inhabiting Java. Cf. Walden, B. Burma, p. 129 ; Sharpe, Cat. B. 

 Brit. Mus. III. p. 246. The iris of the Bali specimens is dark red-brown ; bill and 

 feet black. 



34. Chibia bimaensis (Bp.). 



Both sexes from low country. ? . " Iris deep brown ; bill and feet black." 

 This is one of the invaders from the Timor group into the Balinese fauna. 



35. Oriolus maculatus Vieill. 

 c? ? . 2000 to 3000 feet and in the low country. 



36. Crypsirhina varians (Lath.). 



In the low country. " Iris bright light blue; bill and feet black." Another 

 specimen : " Iris pearl-white, transparent bluish towards the pupil." 



37. Lanius bentet Horsf. 



A good series from the lowlands. " Iris dark brown ; bill black ; base of 

 mandible pale." Like specimens from Java. It seems that Sumatran specimens 

 are mostly (or all ?) paler rufous on the rump and upper tail-coverts.
