The immature mnle, g, is of a uniform dull yellow, the back washed 

 with greenish as in the female, rump bright yellow. The large 

 ill-defined yellow frontal patch shades off posteriorly into a greenish 

 black occipital and nuchal patch ; lores greenish yellow ; wing- 

 feathers brown, some of the secondaries washed on the outer web 

 with greenish yellow ; two middle rectrices yellowish brown ; breast 

 with a few black stripes. Bill pinkish yellow, iris dull crimson ; 

 length 29"5 centims. ; wing 15-5 centims. 



A comparison of this series with the Philippine skins of 0. chinen- 

 sis in the British Museum, does not show any apparent specific 

 distinction, and Mr. Sharpe has regarded Mr. Low's skins of 0. 

 suluensis as a subspecies of 0. frontalis of Wallace. I have skins of 

 an Oriole from Palawan which are not separable from either, and I 

 am therefore led to regard the Philippine, Sulu, and Palawan birils 

 as identical, from which it is difficult to separate the Sulla Oriole.

The only example obtained. It was shot close to or on the 



ground, in a patch of jungle near the centre of the island. The 



iris is a beautiful clear green, in shade not unlike that of the
