20. ? Munia quinticolor (Vieill.). 



There are some specimens which seem to differ from M. quinticolor in a darker 

 beak and slightly darker rump and upper wing-coverts, but I wish to await further 

 material from Flores and Sumba before deciding of their being distinct or not. 

 Blittikofer had only young individuals, and apparently referred them not without 

 hesitation to M. quinticolor. 



21. Calornis minor (Bp.). 



A series, quite typical. Mentioned from Sumba already by both Meyer and 

 Btittikofer. 



22. Artamus leucogaster (Valenc.). 

 Evidently common on Sumba. 



23. Chibia bimaensis Bp. 



Both sexes also from Sumba. 



24. Oriolus broderipi Bp. 



Some beautiful specimens, one of them quite orange. 



Wing 156 159 mm. " Iris scarlet ; beak purplish pink ; legs slaty blue." 



*25. Lanms superciliosus Lath. 

 A small series of moulting individuals, evidently in winter-quarters. 



*26. Pachycephala fulviventris Hartert. 

 P./!, Hartert in Bull. B. 0. C. V. p. 47, 1896 (Latin diagnosis).
