Tips to lateral rectrices whitish buff. Above greyish brown, 
chest brownish grey, the white spots not very sharply 
defined. Abdomen buff. Wings, g 85-88, 2 81 mm. ; 
tail, ¢ 83-89 mm. Since mentioning these birds in 1903 
we have received more specimens, and have now 8 males and 
1 female from Tual (Little Key) and Add (north of Great 
Key), all collected by the late Heinrich Kiihn. 
2. Rhipidura rufiventris finitima, subsp. nov. : Teoor and 
Kisoei in the Watubela Group, north of Key.—Very much 
like R. r. assimilis, but upperside, especially crown, darker, 
the tips to the lateral tail-feathers brownish buff, abdomen as 
a rule slightly richer in colour. Larger: wing, 3 88-91°7, 
2 87-88 ; tail 89-92 mm. Type: 4, Kisoei, 13.i1.1900. 
No. 2084, H. Kuhn coll. 
3. Rhipidura rufiventris pernegletta, subsp. nov. : Taam, 
Kilsoein, and Koer in the Tiandu Group.—Upperside still 
darker than in finitima ; chest darker and with the white 
spots more sharply defined; abdomen somewhat richer in 
colour. Tips to the lateral tail-feathers almost pure white. 
Bill larger. Wing, ¢ 89-92, 2? 86-87 mm. Type: ¢ ad., 
Taam, 22. vii. 1899. H. Kiihn coll., No. 1352. 
Rhipidura squamata henrici, subsp. nov. 
Similar to Rh. syuamata squamata from the Banda Islands, 
but differs in the more conspicuous, more rufous-ciinamon, 
less brownish, and slightly wider outer edges to the inner pri- 
maries and secondaries, which give a more rufous outer aspect 
to the wing. The middle tail-feathers are also less dark than 
in the Banda form. In the majority, but not in all examples, 
the sides of the breast and abdomen are less blackish, but this 
difference should be confirmed by a bigger series from Banda, 
from where we have only seven skins, and not all in very 
good condition. Apparently a little larger: wing of 8 ¢ 3 
74-78 mm., against 72-755 in 6 ¢ ¢ of squamata. 
Hab. Outlying small islands of the Key Group (Ohimas, 
Godan, Roemadan, Cape Ngidioen, Soa), Koer and Manggoer 
groups, and Taam. A single female in very worn plumage
