i'-V. S et (^ imm. Canoe Camp, Setakwa, 20th Nov. &

Adult male and female. Iris, inner ring dull white or yel- 

 lowish, middle ring black, outer ring reddish-brown ; bill 

 bright red, tip yellowish ; cere black ; feet olive-green, olive- 

 plumbeous, or blackish. 



Young. Iris dull olive-grey, eyelid black ; bill yellow ; 

 feet pale ash-colour. 



Some specimens, both male and female, but especially the 

 most adult males, have the lower breast and sometimes the 

 upper part of the belly mostly lamp-black, like the throat. 

 The dark colour, however, never invades the flanks, as is the 

 case in T. c. brooki, which I described from the Pulo Swangi 

 (Spirit Island) , off the coast of Terangan, Aru Islands [c/. Bull. 

 B. 0. C. xix. p. 102 (1907)]. 



According to Dr. van Oort, 7\ cyanogramtnus is found as 

 far east as the Noord River, while the same author refers 

 specimens from Merauke to T. c. nigrogidaris Grray.
