Obs. Messrs. Vigors and Horsfield considered this bird as iden- 

 tical Avith the Papuan Crow of Latham, but on comparison I find 

 this is not the case ; it may ultimately prove to be an immature male, 

 or a female of Grauc. melanops, but until future observation has 

 cleared up this point it will be better to characterize it as distinct.

Obs. Nearly allied to Ceblepyris leucomela ( Campephaga leucomela, 

 Vig. and Horsf. ; Lanius Karu, Less.), but differing from that spe- 

 cies in its smaller size, in the greater extent of the white mark on 

 the shoulders, and in nearly wanting the stripe of white which crosses 

 the secondaries.
