Hab. Talaut Islands: Kabruang, Karkellang, and Esang. 
According to the describers, probably only a subspecies, 
connected with the Philippine bird through the Sulu Islands 
form, which also is decidedly larger than the Philippine form 
(cf. Cat. B. xx. p. 426).

Tanygnathus megalorhynchos megalorhynchos Hartert, Nov. 
Zool. x. p. 23 (1903). 
The distribution of this species as restricted by Dr. Hartert 
is, according to him, as follows :— It extends from N.W. 
New Guinea over the western Papuan Islands to the northern 
Moluccas, to Flores, Djampea between Celebes and Flores, 
and the islands north of Celebes—not only to Talaut, Sangi, 
Siao, but even to the small islands close to the coast: 
Mantehage, Biarro, and Tagulandang.” 
As to the specimens from Djampea and Flores, with the 
wings outwardly green, hardly witii any blue tinge at all and 
perhaps a shade darker green, Dr. Hartert says that perhaps 
they should receive a a special name. 
According to Meyer and Wiglesworth, specimens from 
Djampea are intermediate between 7’. megalorhynchus and 
T. sumbensis.

p. 148 (1898) ; Hartert, Nov. Zool. x. p. 23 (1903). 
I have stated (J. c.) that two specimens «from Sumba, 
examined by me, did not shew any differences from typical 
T. megalorhynchus.
