 At 3000 feet. Hargitt, Cat. B. Brit. Mus. XVIII. p. 65, lias remarked that 

 specimens from the Malay Peninsnla, Sumatra, aud Borneo have "the orbital 

 region less dusky ami the sides of the face aud neck of a paler green." This I find 

 not only to be true, but in addition to it I find that the back is more of a yellowish 

 green, and the rumj) much more golden. I therefore think the Java form must be 

 separated as Gecinus puniceus ti/picus, while the birds from Malacca, Boi'neo, aud 

 Sumatra (type) may be called

3000 feet. These two barbets are named in this way in the Cataloque of Birds 

 (Vol. XIX., Shelley), but I do not consider this generic separation useful or convenient , 

 nor is there sufficient reason for it, I believe.

In Gat. B. Brit. Mtis. XXI. p. 75, Count Salvadori rejected the name porphyrea 

 on account of there being a Colundm ;w/7>%;-rteea " Forst." published in 1S21 ; but 

 the two names are different enougli, I think, to avoid confusion. 



111.— LIST OF THE BIRDS OF BALI. 



Doherty writes from Bali, March 12th: "Last night we arrived here from 

 Sumba in a thoroughly exhausted state, partly from hard work under unusually 

 hard conditions, and partly from a storm, tlie most tremendous I have ever weathered, 

 which made it very difficult for us to got away from Sumba, owing to the surf, and 

 which pursued us almost through Lombok Straits." In April he writes, amongst 

 other things : " I thought Bali would be a great success, and a nice, pleasant, easy 

 place, where we would all get strong. Instead of that, we never have had such 

 constant aud varied sickness. Travelling was difficult and dear, and there was no 

 food to be bought. The people hate us all, 1 tliiidv, and in my whole stay I suc- 

 ceeded in bnying just two ducks and five young chickens. Tlie ducks cover the 

 land, you know— queer things that walk quite- upright. Both Ram Persad and I 

 on different occasions met tigers face to face. There were hardlv anv butterflies,
