Show 1885.] DURING THE VOYAGE OF THE YACHT ' MARCHESA.' 551 name Burong bantik. Length of wing 11*3 centims., tail about 140. I hesitate whether to refer these specimens to G. sepulchralis or to G. lanceolatus. Two are slightly immature; but in the others the chin, cheeks, throat, and forehead are ashy grey ; the head iron-grey ; upper surface bronze-green, shading off to brown on the primaries; under surface bright rufous; middle pair of rectrices blue-black, the others brownish black; all tipped with white. 45. CACOMANTIS TYMBONOMUS, S. Muller. Cacomantis tymbonomus, Wald. op. cit. p. 54. a. Juv. 2 • Menado. I refer this bird to C. tymbonomus with great doubt. The upper surface and wing are olive-brown ; rump greyish; head and cheeks brown, flecked with ferruginous ; entire under surface greyish white, strongly barred with brown ; tail with a subapical dark-brown band and white apex to each feather. This white tip is not as in the last species, prolonged up the shaft of the feather, but has the basal boundary straight. This individual has a larger beak, longer wings, and a shorter tail than the last species. Wing 12*7 centims., tail 11*6. 46. PYRRHOCENTOR CELEBENSIS (Q. & G.).
