358 A NATURALIST'S WANDERINGS 



the opposite sexes or the localities, ve are now acquainted with both 

 sexes and the patriae of four species of these anomalous Parrots, dis- 

 tributed as follows : — 



(1) E. pectoralis (Salvad. op. cit. p. 197), of New Guinea and the Aru 

 and Ke islands, extending to New Britain, New Ireland, and the Solomon 

 Islands. 



(2) E. roratus (Salyad. p. 206), of the island group of Halmahera, i.e. 

 Halmahera, Temate, Batchian, Morty, and Obi. 



(3) E. cardinalis (Salvad. p. 210), of the island group of Ceram, i.e. 

 Ceram, Amboina, and Boru. 



(4) E. riedeli, of the Tenimber group. 



The males of these four species are very similar in colouring ; but with 

 the help of Dr. Salvadori's diagnosis of the first three we may separate 

 them as follows : 



A. Majoies : cauda supra cseruleo variegata. 



Cauda minus cajrulea (1) pectoralis. 



Cauda magis cseriilea (2) roratus. 



B. Minores : Cauda supia viridi, subtus nigra. 



Cauda apiee angusto fiavicante . . . . (3) cardinalis. 

 Caudaj fascia apicali distinole flava . . • (4:) riedeli. 



The female of E. riedeli, as already mentioned, is very easily distin- 

 guished from the same sex of the lirst three species by the absence of 

 the blue neck-band and of the blue on the abdomen. As regards its 

 yellow under tail-coverts and yellow tail-end, it comes nearest to E. 

 roratus. 



12. Eos EETICULATA, S. MuU. 



13. Neopsittacus euteles, T. 



14. Cacatua sanguinea, Gould. 



To my great surprise this Cacatua in not C. citrinocristata, as I had 

 suspected. The original specimens of C. sanguinea were obtained at Port 

 Essington in N. Australia; so that. its occurrence in the Timor-laut group 

 is not after all so very remarkable. 



III. P1CAKI.S1. 



1.5. Saueopatis chloeis, Bodd. 



16. S. AUSTEAiiAsia! and var. minoe, Meyer, n. var. 



17. S. SANOTA, V. & H. 



IV. Passeees. 



18. PiEZOEHYNOHUS cASTUs, Sclater. 



Monarcha castus, Scl. P. Z. S. 1883, loc. sup. cit. 



Supra nigtr ; pileo et regione auriculari albis, fronte et taenia nucham 

 cingente nigris circumdatis ; dorso summo icenioB nuchali proximo, 

 uropygio et tectricibus alarum minoribus cum scapularium marginibus 

 externis albis ; subtus albus, yutture nigro, maculis tribus albis ornato ; 

 Cauda alba, rectricibus tribus externis albo late terminatis ; subalaribus 

 et remigum pogoniis internis albis ; rostri plumbei tomiis albicantibus ; 

 pedibus plumbeis : long, tota 5'7, alee 2'7, caudce 2'8. 



Hab. Lutur, Timor-laat. 



Obs. Afflnis M. leucotl, sed gula nigra distinctus.
