Bulletin 145 Vol. 82 Compared with twelve males from Udjung Kulon, the thirteen skins originating from Princes Island differ by their larger size and by the some- what lighter grey on the throat. When comparing the eight females from this island with four females from Udjung Kulon and eight from Bogor, I cannot see much difference, but females originating from both first mentioned localities average less black on throat and foreneck. On the upper parts, birds from Princes Island differ from those coming from both other localities. They are less green, duller in tone than skins originating from more eastern regions whereas the ferruginous tint on the pileum and sides of the head averages less clear, being much duller which is perhaps also the case with the feathering on the tibia. Of the smaller islands in and around the Sunda Strait, Princes Island is the only locality besides Udjung Kulon where we found pure repre- sentatives of the "olive-greenish group'' of this Tailor Bird, in 1821 described by Horsfield as Orthotomus sepiwn.
