496 MR. A. R. WALLACE ON THE [Nov. 24, 



whole neck and breast. The species is most readily distinguished 

 from E. punicea by the reddish-yellow belly. It is rather abundant 

 in the grassy valleys of Timor. 



Treron floris. 



Flavo-viridis ; dorso fusco, interscapilio cinereo tincto ; pileo 

 plumbeo, fronte albescente ; alls nigris, remigibus secundariis 

 et tectricibusque alarum pallide fiavo marginatis ; rectricibus 

 lateralibus cinereis medialiter nigra fasciatis ; femoribus tec- 

 tricibusque caudce inferioribus albo et viridi maculatis. 



5 . Dorso fusco-virescente, minime cinereo. 



Beneath pale yellow-green ; top of head lead-colour ; forehead, 

 chin, and gape whitish ; upper part of back ashy green ; the rest, 

 upper wing-coverts, and tertiaries dusky green ; rump and upper 

 tail-coverts bright yellow-green, as well as the four middle tail-fea- 

 thers ; lateral tail-feathers with the basal half dusky ash, a median 

 black spot or band, and the apical portion whitish ash ; tail beneath 

 black, broadly tipped with ashy white ; under tail-coverts green, 

 broadly margined and tipped with white, as are also the thighs and 

 lower part of the belly ; quills black, the primaries finely white- 

 edged, the secondaries and greater and middle coverts rather narrowly 

 bordered with pale yellow ; bend of wing ashy purple ; underside of 

 wing entirely slate-colour ; bill with the tip yellowish ; orbits bare ; 

 feet red, as in Treron griseicauda. 



Total length 1 ly inches ; wing 6 inches. 



Hah. Flores and Solor Islands. 



Jtemarks. — The sexes are alike, the female only differing in the 

 rather duskier back and more green-spotted under tail-coverts. In 

 the form of the bill and frontal feathers this species agrees with T. 

 nepalensis and T. griseicauda, and in coloration can hardly be distin- 

 guished from the female of the latter species. It is singular that in the 

 Island of Timor an allied species (T. psittacea, Temm.) should be 

 found which also wants the chestnut-coloured back in the male, the 

 habitats of both agreeing closely in their peculiar climate and vege- 

 tation. 



Ptilonopus albocinctus. (PI. XXXIX.) 



uSneo-niger ; collo latissime pectoreque ccesiis ; capite albescente; 

 gulu, torque pectorali et taenia dorsali albis ; ventre et femori- 

 bus fiavo-olivaceis, tibiis cinereis ; tectricibus caudce itiferioribus 

 cinereis late fiavo marginatis, cauda fascia terminali cinerea. 



Bronzy black ; crown and forehead ashy white ; throat and cheeks 

 white ; neck and breast bluish ash, with a narrow edging above 

 and a broad band beneath white ; below this a broad blue-black 

 band on the lower breast ; belly and thighs olive-yellow ; legs ashy; 

 under tail-coverts ashy with broad margins to the feathers bright 

 yellow ; tail with a terminal ash- coloured band, which on the un- 

 derside is nearly white ; bill greenish at base, yellow at tip ; feet 

 bright red.
