c. Campephaga obiensis (1) Griiillem., P. Z. S. 1885, 570. 



"Sal" (o'j Peling; "Kuenlang" [rf] Banggai; "Kodopi" (2) Peling and Banggai, Nat. Coll. 



Adult male. Similar to the male of E. morio, but without the black throat, though black on 

 the cheeks, chin, lores, and ear-coverts {[(f] Peling, V. — VIII. 95 — C 14575). 



Adult female. Above cinnamon-rufous, washed with chestnut on the mantle; below Hghter, 

 more orange cinuamon-rufous, palest on chin; head above and hind neck bluish 

 slate-grey, much as in the male; lores blackish; below the eye Hght cinnamon; 

 ear-coverts streaked with light cinnamon; remiges: unexposed inner portions and 

 free ends blackish, below blackish, where they rest upon the body cinnamon-rufous; 

 tail above and below cinnamon-rufous ([$] ad. Peling, V. — YTTT. 95 — C 14576). 



Young. Similar to the female, but the head above and hind neck not slaty, but rufous brown 

 with grey bases to the feathers and some pale buff tips ; a supraloral stripe continued 

 over the eye cinnamon-buff; bill dark horn-colour, paler below (Banggai — C 14694). 



Measurements (Peling and Banggai — 4 adults). Wing 117—126 mm (the smaller measurements 

 belonging to females); tail c. 100; tarsus c. 24; bill from nostril 15.5 — 16. 



Distribution. Obi (Bruijn, Bernstein 4, 5); Bisa (Guillemard c 1); Sula (Allen 5); 

 Peling and Banggai (Nat. Coll. in Dresd. & Tring Mus.). 



A male in the British Museum from Sula was identified by Sharpe with 

 E. obiense, and this determination is now confirmed by a good series from Peling 

 and Banggai, the avifauna of which is generally very much the same as that of 

 Sula. Possibly the bill of our examples is a trifle smaller than in the Obi bird, 

 but this is a somewhat variable character. 



The female and young of this species are remarkably different from those 

 of E. morio and its allies; they look as if saturated with cinnamon-rufous, and 

 no bars on the under surface are to be seen. 



GENUS LALAGE Boie. 



A group of species smaller in size than those of the genus Graucalus; the 

 wing always much longer than the tail, the middle toe and claw slightly shorter 

 than the tarsus; tarsus anteriorly with 4 — 5 transverse scales; bill as in EdoUi- 

 soma, culmen shorter than the cranium; sexes dissimilar. Ranges from India to 

 Australia and Polynesia. 



Gould and, more recently, Oates do not separate this form from Cam- 

 pophaga.
