424 Birds of Celebes: Campophagidae. 



There is now a fine series of 19 specimens of the Talaut form in the Dresden 

 Museum, showing every dress and transition. The females approach E. morlo 

 in the coloration of the under parts. 



- * 162. EDOLIISOMA EMANCIPATA Hart. 



^ Djampea Slaty Cuckoo-shrike. 



Edoliisoma emaneipata (1) Hart., Nov. Zool. 1S96, 170. 



Adult male. Much larger than E. morio of Celebes, paler slaty, and without the black cheeks 

 and throat, the lores and ear-coverts black, the latter with a Ijronze gloss (cf , Djampea 

 Id., Dec. 1S95: Everett — C 14862). 



Wing 132 — 138 mm; tail 113; culmen 25—26 (bill from nostril c. 17); width of 

 bill at nostrils 9; tarsus 23 (Hartert). 



Female (immature). Under parts whitish washed with cinnamon-buff, paler than in E. morio 

 and crossed with narrower brace-shaped bars of dusky; crissum and imder tail-coverts 

 cinnamon-buff clear of bars; above slaty grey, washed with olive on the back, the 

 feathers of the rump with dusky subterminal bars and buff tips; wing-coverts and 

 qudls edged with cinnamon-lniff, becoming whitish on the inner feathers; tail black, 

 tipped with cinnamon-wliite , broadest on the outermost feathers, the middle pair 

 brownish slate-grey with a black spot at the tip (Q, Djampea, Everett — 14863). 

 The female is above light slaty grey, no fawn-coloured superciliary streak; ear- 

 coverts hght slaty grey, streaked with white; a shght brownish wash on the rump; 

 wing 129 — 132 mm; "iiis chocolate-brown; bill jet-black; legs, feet, and claws gi'eyish 

 black" — Ev. (Hartert). 



Distribution. Djampea Island, between South Celebes and Flores (Everett). 



This new species is compared by Mr. Hartert with E. amboinense, which 

 differs in the female in being ashy brown above and in having a fawn-coloured 

 superciliary streak, while the male of that species is harder to distinguish, but 

 the wing seems to be slightly shorter and the grey edges on the wing-coverts 

 and secondaries narrower. The male of E. emaneipata is also hardly to be dis- 

 tinguished from the males of E. salvadorii and of E. talautense, except by its 

 larger size and slightly paler slaty hue; the female is much more narrowly 

 barred below and has a brownish tint on the rump not seen in adult females of 

 those species.
