The synonymy of the two snbsjiecies from Borneo and Malacca, known as Pitta, 

 yranatina and coccinea, remained undisturbed until 18112, when ]\Ir. Elliot {Auk 

 1.892 p. 218, also monograph Pittidae), renamed the Bornean form Pitta yranatina 

 borneensis, considering that hoth. P. yranatina and coccinea referred to the Malaccan 

 form. Sharpe {Uand-lii<t iii. p. Ill, 1901) heaped error njion error by recognisiuj;- 

 P. yranatina, and horneensis from Borneo, besides coccinea from .Malacca. 



The facts are : Temminck gave a description from two specimens brouiiht 

 home by Diard from Pontianak in western Borneo. His description applies eijually 

 to the ]$oruean and ]\[alaccan form, as he does not say how far tlie black of the forehead 

 reaches on the crown. He says, " du noir profiind couvre le front, entoure le bee et 

 I'orbite des ycux, et forme au-dessiis de cet organe un large sonrcil." 'I'his is ipiite 

 correct, and it will be seen that in most of the Bornean examj)les a wide black line 

 (though not a long one) over the eye is qnite visible. Therefore Teraminck's name 

 (jranatina can only and must always refer to the Bornean lorm. It is true that the 

 jdato nccomiiaiying Temminck's descrijjtion clearly shows the Malaccan form, but
