Figure and descriptions. Gould J; gliarpe 2; Salvadori .9; Puller 5. 
Male. Piglit grey, forehead, face, ear-coverts, chin and throat black; primaries 
blackish, edged with whitish, secondaries externally grey like the back; tail black, 
tipped With white (c. 20 nun broad in the outermost feathers), middle feathers brownish 
grey, terminally blackish; breast grey like the back, paling into white on the ab- 
domen and imder tail-coverts; under wing-coverts and quills w'here they rest 
upon the body white, distally grey: bill and feet black, paler at base of mandible 
(Peling Id., V.— 'VIII. 95: Nat. Coll — C 14569). 
Female. Differs from the male by having the lores and ear-coverts only blackish; forehead, 
supraloral region, cbiir, and malar region whitish, throat barred with greyish; breast 
and sides rather obscrir-ely barred with light grey and white (Peling, V— VIII 95- 
— C 14568). 
Measurements. Wing 182— 192mm; tail ca. 140; tarsus ca.26; bill fr. nostr. 19—20 (Peling Id.). 
Nest and eggs cf. Gould /. 
Distribution. Australia and New Zealand (“accidental visitor” — Puller 5); Papuasia, the 
Moluccas, T’morlaut, Timor, Sumba (6), Peling (Dresden and Tring Mus.). 
For exact localities cf. Salvadori 3, 4. 
Four examples of this species were recently obtained in Peling by our 
native hunters. In size they are smaller than Australian specimens, but have 
a relatively largei bill, though not so large as in one from Sumba. In size 
they are equal to examples from Aru, Timorlaut, etc. It would be unsafe to 
predict that the bird varies locally, as it is not strictly stationary in Australia 
and has straggled to New Zealand, nor can it be safely assumed that it is station- 
aiy in Peling. 
For habits, etc. cf. Gould I. 
It bears some resemblance to G. leucopygius, but is much larger, lighter grey, 
and the face and throat of the male are black. 
GENUS EDOLIISOMA Jacqiiin. Puch, 
A group of species smaller than Graucalm in size, not exceeding the dimen- 
sions of a Thrush, and differing from Graucahis chiefly by the shorter wino-, 
smaller bill, and the much greater contrast in coloration between the sexes. 
The wing is less than 6 times the length of the tarsus — about 4— 5 V 2 times this 
length; the males are commonly slate or black in general colour, the females 
usually either barred below on a pale ground-colour, or saturated with some 
rufous tint. The females afford the best characters for the species, and the 
young take after them. The genus is found from Australia to the Philippines.
