It is very nearly allied to the Oriolus Xanthornus, giver 
by Dr. Shaw in the Naturalist’s Miscellany, Plate 243, 
from which species however it appears to me to be sufli- 
ciently distinct; and in this opinion Mr. Bullock coincides. 
In the figure referred to by Linnzus, in Edwards’ 
Gleanings, the wing-coverts externally have a few black 
markings, and the bill is longer, narrower, and incurved ; 
I have therefore affixed a doubt to the reference. 
As the distinctions between O. Xanthornus of Shaw 
and this species are rather obscure, it may not be deemed 
improper to give the leading marks of distinction, taken 
from two specimens in Mr. Bullock’s Museum. 

ORIOLUS XANTHORNUS. 
O. flavus, facie ante oculos gula pectore anticé te- 
tricibus remigibus caudaque atris, tectricibus albo- 
terminatis, remigibus secundariis externe albis, 
rectricibus extermis duabus utrinque sordido-albo- 
terminatis, rostro nigro: mandibula superiore basi 
sub-striata, pedibus nigricantibus.
