Hab. Timor. 



Remarks. — The sexes are alike. This bird is closely allied to the 

 Myiothera capistrata, Temm. ; but differs in its coloration, and in 

 having a much longer tail. I had described it as a new species, but 

 have now little doubt that it is the bird briefly characterized by Bo- 

 naparte as Napothera bivittata. 



Megalurus timoriensis, 



Similis M. galactodi (Temm.), sed major et cauda immaculata. 



Above rusty rufous ; the feathers of the back, tertiaries, and 

 greater wing-coverts having dark centres and dusky yellowish mar- 

 gins ; beneath whitish ; throat pure white ; sides of the neck and 

 breast of an ashy tinge, which becomes a pale brown on the flanks 

 and under tail-coverts ; a pale streak from the nostrils above the 

 eye ; under wing-coverts rufous-tinged; bill bluish, pale below, and 

 blackish on the culmen ; feet pale olive.

 tarsus 1 inch ; mid toe and claw 1 inch.

Remarks. — The sexes are alike. This bird carries its tail much 

 elevated. It seems to be a large and slightly modified race of the 

 Australian M. yalactodes.
