48. Dicrurus suluensis Hart. = Dicrurus hracteatus suluensis. 



Dicrurus suluensis Hartert, Nov. Zool. 1902. p. 441 (Sulu Islands). 



Type : <? ad., Maimbun, Sulu Islands, 23. iv. 1883. Dr. H. Guillemard 

 leg. 



49. Dicrnropsis guillemardi Salvad. = Dicrurus hracteatus guillemardi. 



Dicruropsis guillemardi Salvadori, Aggiuriie Orn. Papuasia, ii. p. 94 {Mem. R. Accad. Torino, xi. 

 p. 220) (1890— Bisa). 



Type : ? Island of Bisa, Obi group, 13. x. 1883. Dr. H. Guillemard leg. 



Salvadori named this form, without having seen the skin, from Guillemard's 

 remarks about his single specimen. I had overlooked the name guillemardi 

 when describing dohertyi. 



t 50. Dicrurus dohertyi Hart. = Dicrurus hracteatus guillemardi. 



Dicrurus dohertyi Hartert, Nov. Zool. 1902. p. 441 (Obi Major). 



Type : S ad.. Obi Major, September 1897. W. Doherty leg. 

 In these birds males and females differ much in size, and probably the 

 former only have the long frontal bristles. 



51. Dicrurus meeki Rothsch. and Hart. = Dicrurus {hracteatus) meeki. 



Dicrurus meeki Rothschild & Hartert, Nov. Zool. 1903. p. 110 (Guadalcanar). 



Type : S ad., Guadalcanar, Solomon Islands, 24. v. 1901. A. S. Meek leg. 

 No. 3188. 



52. Chibia carbonaria dejecta Hart. = Dicrurus (hracteatus) dejectus. 

 Chibia carbonaria dejecta Hartert, Nov. Zool. 1898. p. 522 (Sudest I.). 



Type : S ad., Sudest Island, Louisiadc group, 24. iv. 1898. A. S. Meek 

 leg. No. 1788. 



This and meeki are of course subspecies of each other and of carhonarius, 

 but can no doubt be associated with hracteatus, to which carhonariiis is sub- 

 specifically allied. 



53. Dicrurus kiihni Hart. = Dicrurus densus kiihni. 

 Dicrurus kuhni Hartert, Nov. Zool. 1901. p. 170 (Tenimber Islands). 



Type: (J ad., Larat, Tenimber Islands, 28.1.1901. Heinrich Kiihn leg. 

 No. 3078. 



54. Dicrurus hottentottus manumeten Stres. = D. (hracteatus ?) manumeten. 

 Dicrurus hottentottus manumeten Stresemann, Nov. Zool. 1914. p. 148 (Ceram), 



Type: (J, Manusela, Ceram (Scran), 2. vi. 1911. Erwin Stresemann leg. 

 No. 739. 



I do not think that one can go so far as to place this form as a subspecies 

 of the Indian hottentottus with its huge frontal hairs, but it. might be a form of 

 the hracteatus group, though rather different. D. densus densus, D. densus 

 megalornis, and D. densus kiihni form a group by itself, with very long tails and 

 high beaks.
