■ciliaris and has named it after Capt. Stanley S. Flower. This bird, 

 S.floweri, Sharpe, has the ripper parts of a blackish color, while those 

 in S. Siiperciliaris are brownish black. The specimen in Mr. Eisenho- 

 fer's collection agrees better with the description of S. superciliaris, 

 and I have therefore referred it to that species, as I have at present no 

 material for comparison. 



Its measurements were as follows : — wing = 122 mm,; tail — 77

Stresemann has recentlj' published a paper {Noc. Zool., Vol. 20, 

 No. 2, 1913) on the subject of the different subspecies of this widely 

 distributed bird, and he believes that the race inhabiting Siam ought
