05. Ceyx innominata Salvad. 



In the low country. S. " Ii'is dark brown; bill and feet coral-red." ?. '■ Feet 

 pale orange ; ma.xilla dn.sky with orange tip." This J'emale has the inner secondaries 

 somewhat darker and the wing 1-.5 or 2 mm. shorter than the males i'rom Bali. 

 1 do not see signs of immaturity in any of theni. 



6(3. Halcyon sanctus Vig. & Horsf. 

 Bali, low country. " Iris dark brown." 



07. Halcyon chloris (Bodd.). 

 Low country. Quite typical, though with rather much white on the occiput. 



68. Halcyon cyaniventris (Vieill.). 

 A c?, shot in the low country. " Beak vermilion ; iris dull brown ; feet scarlet." 



09. Xantholaema australis (Horsf). 



In the hills between 200U and 30UO feet. " Iris dark brown : feet greenish, 

 soles ochreous ; bill black." 



70. Xantholaema rosea (Dumont). 

 In the low country, not rare. " Iris dark brown ; bill black ; feet orange." 



71. Cyanops armillaris (Temm.). 



cj ? , shot at 2000 or 3000 feet. " Iris pale yellow; feet greenish ; bill black." 

 These two birds have the forehead deeper orange than the three Java birds in 

 the Tring Museum, but it is doubtful whether this is a constant character or not. 



72. Cyanops lineata (Vieill.) typica. 



Not rare in the low country. " Iris jiale brown ; skin round eyes bright 

 ochreous ; feet ochreous, soles whitish ; bill pale reddish corneous." 



73. Anthracoceros convexus (Temm.). 



Low country. S. " Iris dull umber-brown ; feet slate-blue ; skin round eye 

 rather greenish ; beak yellowish horn-colour, forcjiart of castpic rather darker 

 shaded." 



74. Cacomantis merulinus (Scop.) and C. threnodes Cab. & Heine. 



Both these forms, the pale and small C. merulinus, with the grey of the head 

 and throat distinctly separated, and the larger and darker C. threnodes of Cabauis 

 k Heine, from Bali, low country as well as 2000 to 3000 feet. Whether they are 

 the same species or not, or different stages, I caimot say ; but I must say that 

 the e.Kplanation given by Shelley on pp. 200, 270, of Vol. XIX. of the Cat. B. Brit. 

 Af't.i. — i.e. that C. merulinus inhabits drier countries, while C. threnodes frequents 

 localities witli a greater amount of rainfall — is not satisfactory, as both are found 

 in the same places. 1 slinuld not wonder if they turned out to be sjiecies after all.
