Native name Burong koning. In two females from Menado the bill, though noted as pink, has dried black. These two birds have the coronal ring incomplete. The amount of black towards the apices of the two median rectrices I believe to bear no relation whatever to the age of the bird. It varies considerably; but many of the Orioles show a tendency to variation in the disposition of the yellow and black. 50. GEOCICHLA ERYTHRONOTA, Sclater. Geocichla erythronota, Wald. op. cit. p. 61. a. 8 • Menado. I have no note of the measurements or soft parts, the only specimen I obtained being shot by my hunter at Menado during my absence.
