﻿to be restricted to the Islands of Timor and Lombock. It is to be regretted, therefore, that 



Vieillot bestowed upon the species a name so thoroughly inapplicable. 



For the accompanying note I am indebted to the kindness of my friend Mr. Wallace : — 

 " This species was procured by me in Lombock and Timor, and when in the flesh 



measured 8| inches. It frequents thickets near the sea, and feeds on insects, especially 



grasshoppers." 



The description, measurements and figure are taken from a specimen in Mr. Wallace's 

 collection procured by him in Eastern Timor.
