127. Ptilotis cinerea, Sclat. 



Ptilotis cinerea, Salvad. op. cit. vol. ii. p. 338. 



a. Arf'ak. 



Under wing-coverts ashy, posteriorly rufous. 



128. Ptilotis chrysotis, Less. 



Xanthotis chrysotis, Salvad. op. cit. vol. ii. p. 346. 



a. (S . Salwatti. 



Iris brown ; bill and feet black. Length 23'0 centims., wing 10'5. 



This species is not found in Waigiou and Batauta, where it is 

 replaced by P.fusciventris. Dr. Gadow (Cat. B. vol. ix. p. 238), 

 although admitting the latter as a subspecies, has placed the 

 example under P. chrysotis, and erroneously given Waigiou as a 

 habitat. 



129. Ptilotis fusciventris (Salvad.). 

 Ptilotis fusciventris, Salvad. op. cit. vol. ii. p. 348. 

 a, b. c? . Waigiou. 



c. 2 . Momos, Waigiou. 



Iris brown; bill black; feet bluish grey. Length 23*7 centims., 

 wing 10-5-10-9. 



Differs from the preceding species in being greener on the upper 

 surface, and without the rUfous on the breast and sides of the body. 



130. ? EUTHYRHYNCHUS GRISEIGULARIS, Schleg. 



Euthyrhynchus griseigula, Salvad. op. cit. vol. ii. p. 341. 

 Euthyrhynchus jiavigula, id. ibid. p. 341. 



a. (S ■ Andai. 



Iris gamboge-yellow ; bill horn-colour, lower mandible yellowish ; 

 feet bluish slate. Length 19'8 centims., wing 9'4. 



Above uniform olive, vertex and occiput dark brown; beneath 

 dull rufescent, faintly washed with olive-yellow. Inner web of 

 remiges whitish, not rufescent. 



In the absence of any specimen with which to compare the present 

 example, I am uncertain to what species it should be referred. E. 

 flavigula comes from the same locality as E. griseigula, is "very like 

 E. griseigula, but smaller, and with the rufescent underparts slightly 

 washed with olive." Possibly the two species are not really separable. 

 Salvadori's measurements (17"5 and 16'0 centims.) are probably given 

 from the dried skin.
