14 DR. O. FINSCH ON BIRDS FROM [JiUl. 14, 



33. Calcexas mcobarica, L. ; Scl. I.e. p. 112. 

 Native name Parreparre, Hiibner. 



Male and female, agreeing with specimens from the Moluccas, 



34. Megapodius eremita, Ilartl. P. Z. S. 1867, p. 830 (Echi- 

 qnier Islands). 



M. hueskeri. Cab. et Rchnw. Journ. f. Orn. 1876, p. 326 (New 

 Hanover) ; Scl. I.e. p. 113 (Duke-of-York Island). 



M. rubrifrons, Scl. P. Z. S. 1877, p. 556 (Admiralty Islands). 



Native name Kakiau, Hiibner. 



Male and female in size and coloration alike. Wings 8" 6'". In 

 dried skins : tarsus brownish (in the female more yellowish brown 

 towards the knee) ; toes and nails brownish black. 



Dr. Salvador!, to whom I forwarded the type specimen from the 

 Museum Godeflfroy for comparison, pronounces {in lilt.) the three 

 species referred to above undoubtedly inseparable from each other, 

 and identical with Hartlaub's type from Echiquier Islands. 



35. Ardea sacra, Gmel. ; Scl. I.e. p. 112. 



Native name Ambar, Hiibner. 

 One female, in slate-black plumage, 



36. Ardea flavicollis, Lath. ; Scl. /. c. p. 1 13. 



Native names, male Nu/ca/c, female Ambar, young Kakuk, Hiibner. 



Old male, female, and young bird. The old male agrees perfectly 

 with a Malaccan one. Wings 8" ; female, wings 7" 8'". 



I do not think that a specific separation of the Australian A. govldi, 

 Bp., on account of the larger size, is exactly to be relied upon. 



37. Nycticorax caledonicus, Gmel. ; Scl. I.e. 1878, p. 673. 



Native name Anglema, Hiibner. 

 Two males ; wings 9" 9'", 



38. Strepsilas interpres, L. 



Native name Aulie, Hiibner. 

 One specimen. 



39. EsACUs magnirostris, Geoff. 



Native name Kalubibil, Hiibner. 

 One male. New for this locality. 



40. Charadrius fulvus, Gmel. ; Scl. /. c. p. 1 13. 



Native name Natewabun, Hiibner, 



Two specimens ; one with the underparts black intermixed with 

 some white feathers. 



41. Numenius uropygialis, Gould ; Scl. /. e. p. 1 13. 



Native name Kaluing, Hiibner, 



Male and female. All the Eastern specimens have the rump 

 strongly barred, and apparently deserve specific separation.
