of the beak, such as is in evidence in many of the races 
inhabiting small islands, a character on which several local 
races have been founded, the most distinct being C. altirostris 
from Nias (Salvad., Ann. Mus. Civ. Gen. (2) iv, p. 553 (1887) ).

_ Adult male: “ Iris chestnut, bill yellowish horn or black, 
tarsi and claws pale pinkish horn.” 
Female: ‘‘ Iris warm brown, feet dirty flesh, bill yellow- 
ish horn.” 
Throughout the valley this Weaver Bird was_ fairly 
common, its large flask-shaped nest being often seen hanging 
in colonies at the end of tree branches or occasionally attached 
to the leaves of coconut palms. 
All the males of the present series are adult and have the 
yellow head and biack throat well developed. Four out of the 
five have black bills and are all in worn plumage, with the 
edges of the feathers of the mantle whitish and the breast and 
belly dirty whitish buff. The fifth is in freshly moulted 
plumage, has the bill pinkish horn, the edges of the feathers 
of the mantle yellowish brown and the rump and under 
surface cinnamon buff. The wing ranges from 68-74 mm., 
with an average of 69.8, which agrees with the dimensions 
given by Hartert (loc. cit.), for the types from the Malay 
Peninsula.
