specimens from Java. nw\ iudeod of a very deep rafons colour, perhiips even deeper 

 than most of the Java hiids. 



I have beeu inclined to consider G. rubecula as merely a subspecies of 0. citrina, 

 but it can perhaps just as well stand as a species. G. innotata Blyth, from Burma, 

 ou the other hand, seems to deserve not more than subspecific rank. Cf. Seeliohm, 

 Gat. B. Brit. Mus. V. pp. 174 and 17fi: Hartert, Onii.-<. 1891 (p. 2 of article ■• Uelier 

 cine kleine Vogelsammlung'," etc.). 



'2. Pratincola caprata (L.). 



Both sexes from the low country, i ad. " Iris deep umber : bill and feet 

 black." J . " Iris deep brown." 



•5. Phylloscopns borealis (Bias.). 



These birds were still common in March in the low country. They are qnite 

 typical, I think, l)ut one of them is a perfect giant, with the wing fully 70 mm., 

 while the other five skins have their wings only 64 to 72 mm. long, the larger ones 

 evidently being nudes. " Iris deep brown ; feet greenish olive." 



4. Copsychu saularis amoenus (Horsf.). 



Both se.xes from the low country. An immature 7nale from Bali, of this form, 

 was collected by Wallace, and is in the British Museum. The specimens from Bali 

 are pure anioemis, quite black below, except some white tips to the under tail- 

 coverts and a few white feathers on the sides of tlio vent. The three outer rectrices 

 are nearly quite white. " Iris dark brown."

 Arjtiuo in East Java. See antea,^). 539. "Iris pale yellow; bill pale orange;
