name Burong bantik. Length of wing ITS centims., tail about 

 14-0. 



I hesitate whether to refer these specimens to C. sepulchralis or 

 to C. laneeolatus. Two are slightly immature ; but in the others 

 the chin, cheeks, throat, and foreliead are ashy grey ; the head iron- 

 grey ; upper surface bronze-green, shading off to brown on the 

 primaries ; under surface bright rufous ; middle pair of rectrices 

 blue- black, the others brownish black ; all tipped with white.

I refer this bird to C. tymbonomus with great doubt. The upper 

 surface and wing are olive-brown ; rump greyish ; head and cheeks 

 brown, flecked with ferruginous ; entire under surface greyish white, 

 strongly barred with brown ; tail with a subapical dark-brown band 

 and white apex to each feather. This white tip is not as in the 

 last species, prolonged up the shaft of the feather, but has the 

 basal boundary straight. This individual has a larger beak, longer 

 wings, and a shorter tail than the last species. Wing 1 27 centims,, 

 tail 11-6.
