Following the arrangement of the Catalogue of Birds, we have first a species 

 with barred npperside and middle rectrices, grey outer tail feathers, with a Idack 

 snbterminal bar and uarrowl}- barred metallic chest, of which we Iniow three 

 geographical forms. This species must be called M. unckall. 



03. Macropygia unchall unchall (Wagl.). 



Wagler's description is a most excellent one, and we believe that it must have 

 been only the utterly barbaric word that led our friend Count Salvador! to cast aside 

 the name unchall. Of the three Macropygiae occurring on Java, none can be meant 

 but what is generally called leptoijrammica. That it is not emiliana is admitted 

 by Count Salvador! {Cat. B. XXI. p. 347). 



This form inhabits the hills of Java, Lombok, Sumatra and the Malay 

 Peninsula. We have the following specimens before us : — 



2 ? ad., 2 juv. Mt. Gedeh, Java (Ernst Prillwitz coll.). 



2 cJ ¥ Mt. Gedeh (Kaap coll.). 



1 ? Tosari, East Java (John Whitehead coll.). • 



3 S Lombok (Doherty coll.). 



(J4. Macropygia unchall minor Swinh. 



Smaller, the bars on the middle rectrices generally less distinct. Inhabits 

 Hainan. 



We have only two females, both from R. Swiuhoe's collection, evidently 

 co-types. 



The name of this form must be minor, as it is characterised (7i/.s, 1870, p. 355), 

 and the exact locality given. 



05. Macropygia unchall tusalia (Hodys.). 



The largest form, upperside very dark cliestnut, the metallic gloss on the neck 

 very glossy. 



Northern India to Western China. We have before us : — 



1 cJ, 1 ? Sikkim (H. J. Elwes coll.). 



1 ? Sikkim (from Moller's hunters). 



1 c?, 2 ? N. Cachar (E. C. Stuart Baker coll.). 



1 c? Salween Hills (Bingham coll.). 



The second species is M. magna. It has a totally unbarred somewhat pale 

 tail and, when adult, a somewhat jiowdered hindueck, and must also be divided into 

 three subspecies. 



00. Macropygia magna magna Wall. 

 Known from the Timor group only, whence we have 3 J", 2 ?, collected by 

 A. Everett on Alor. 



07. Macropygia magna timorlaoensis Bleyer. 



Known from Timorlaut only. We have no specimens, but have examined 

 those in the British Museum. 



Although belonging to a distinct subspecies, tiiis form evidently belongs to the 

 magna group.
