Only 10 specimens, belonging to 7 species, are in the collection, 

 which, although a very small one, is of some interest, as birds from 

 Banda are rather scarce in Museums.

 brown tinge ; base of the lower mandible white, the rest black. —

[No. 292. Male : eyes brown ; legs and bill slate-blue ; the bill

After having examined the types mentioned above and having 

 compared together many specimens from Timor, Banda, Amboyna, 

 Goram, Tijoor, Ternate, Halmahera, Batchian, Tifore, Sula, Ke 

 Islands, Aru Islands, Mysol, New Guinea (Sorong, Dorei, and Man- 

 nam), Mafor, the Admiralty Islands, and the Echiquier group, I 

 have arrived at the conclusion that they all belong to one species. 

 The Drymophila cinerascens, Temm., represents the fully adult bird ;
