These five examples belong to a small race of the Javan 
long-winged Goatsucker. Perhaps they may claim to be re¬ 
garded as belonging to a distinct species; for they are of a 
much darker colour above, in hue resembling C. jot oka, their 
markings are somewhat different, and the terminal white 
spots of the two outer pairs of rectrices are very much less 
developed, measuring only 1*37.
