I accept tttriitn at all, but the greater extent of the white ti|)s is coiispicnoiis, 

 What, however, are we to do with the Borneau birds ? They have no more white 

 on the tail than Indian birds, bnt it is incredible that they shonld be like the 

 Indian form, with atrata inhabiting Snmatra and the Malay Peninsula, right 

 between India and Borneo. Probably — if atrata is recoi'nisable — the Bornean birds 

 form a third subspecies, characterised by a larger white gnlar patch, which is 

 nnfortunately much altered by the make of the skins, and therefore an nnpleasant 

 point to rely on. In any case the nomenclatnre of the new " Hand-list" (vol. lii. 

 p. 25), where albicolUs (India to Malay Peninsula and Borneo !) and atrata are kept 

 as two species, is in my opinion unsatisfactory. If atrata is recognised, then the 

 birds from the mountains of Perak and Pahang belong to it, and ditferences of the 

 Bornean birds are to be discovered.
