One specimen, which I am not able to distinguish from a Jaran one, 

 as the differences in size are very sHght.

2. Gracula kreffti, Scl. I. c. p. 104. 

 Native name Giljau, Hiibner. 



Male and female, showing no differences. 



The figure given with the original description (P. Z.S. 1869,pl.ix.) 

 shows, in contrast to the description, the upper and lower tail-coverts 

 yellow instead of white, and gives therefore quite a wrong idea ; only 

 the middle of the vent near the anal region is yellow (orange- 

 yellow). 



3. BucEROs RUFicoLLis, Vieill. ; Scl. P. Z. S. 1878, p. 672. 

 Native name Nffal, Hiibner. 



One old and one young female (sex marked by Mr. Hiibner) 

 both having the whole head and neck uniform black, like the body. 

 The old female shows on the basal half of the culmen five strongly 

 developed plicae, the basal one measuring 17 lines in length and 

 18 in diameter, being flat from above; the young one lacks the 

 plicae, and shows only a small elevated (about 6'") flat casque, 2" 4'" 

 in length and 1 6'" in diameter. 



4. PlICTOLOPHUS OPHTHALMICUS (Scl.). 



Cacatua ophthalmica, Scl. P. Z. S. 1877, p. 107.
