Mr. E. C. Sruarr Baker described the following new 
subspecies of Cuckoo :— 
Rhinortha chlorophza fuscigularis, subsp. nov. 
The female of this species from Borneo is distinguished 
from that found in any other locality by having the rufous 
of the underparts extended on to the throat and chin, 
whereas in the typical bird from Sumatra the whole chin 
and throat are pure grey. In this new subspecies the belly 
and vent are rich rufous instead of dull olive-brown tinged 
with rufous and the vent deep maroon-red instead of dull 
dark olive-brown with the same rufous tinge. 
The size of the two forms is about the same, R. c. chloro- 
phea and R. c. fuscigularis both varying in wing-measure- 
ment between 109 and 121 mm. 
The tail in chlorophea runs up to 186 mm., whilst the 
longest in fuscigularis is only 109 mm. 
Type-locality. Sarawak, Borneo. 
Type. No. 87.12.19.409. Seebohm Coll., British Museum. 
The male is not distinguishable from that of R. c. chloro- 
phea, though it may average a rather richer deeper red 
above. 
Habitat. Borneo. 
Mr. Stuart Baker also communicated the following 
description of a new subspecies of Starling on behalf of 
Mr. T. Weis :— 
Poliopsar leucocephalus annamensis, subsp. nov. 
Adult male. Similar to P. 1. leucocephalus (Gigl. & Salvad.) 
from Cochin China, but the belly and under tail-coverts are 
w vite instead of pale pinkish buff and the bastard primary 
upped with black instead of pure white.
