Anthreptes hypogrammica intensior, subsp. nov. 
Comparison of a series of Anthreptes hypogrammica from 
the Malay Peninsula and the Natuna Islands with a series 
from Borneo shows that the two forms are different. The 
upperside of the Bornean form is very slightly, but the ear- 
coverts are distinctly darker, the latter more olive. The 
underside of the Bornean specimens is much darker, richer 
yellow, especially on the throat and breast, where the edges 
of the feathers are lighter, almost whitish sulphur-yellow in 
the Malaccan, but rich yellow in the Bornean form. The bird 
was described by 8. Miiller from ‘“‘ Sumatra and Borneo.” I 
accept Sumatra as the restricted terra typica, supposing that 
the Sumatran form agrees more likely with that of the Malay 
Peninsula than with the Bornean one, and I give the name 
Anthreptes hypogrammica intensior 
to the Bornean subspecies.

Dr. Hartrerr also communicated the following notes on 
Edolisoma :—

recognized. Three new forms are here described, as

Edolisoma obiense pelingi, subsp. nov. 
& ad. Quite similar to that of EH. obiense Salvad., but bill 
smaller.—— ? ad. Rufous with grey cap, like the female of 
E. obiense, but bill smaller, crown of head and nape blue-
