 As they have no name I call theni : 



Pycnonotus prillwitzi sp. uov. 



They differ from P. simplex from Sumatra, Malay Peninsula, and Borneo in being 

 more greenish brown, not so deej) brown, above, the rump especially sliovving a 

 much lighter tinge of greenish brown. The same different tinge is to be seen 

 underneath, P. prillwitzi being more yellowish. The ear-coverts are more greenish, 

 the under wing-coverts are more tinged with yellow, the under tail-coverts are much 

 darker, more brownish yellow. The bill is longer and wider at base, the wing 

 apparently shorter. 1 have eight skins, collected by Mr. Ernst Prillwitz near 

 Karangbolong in >South Java, but none of them is " sexed." Their measurements 

 are : culmeu from forehead 15| to 17^, wing 79 to 84, tail about 84 mm. (often 

 much worn). Type Karangbolong, S. Java, Prillwitz coll. 



1 should think that all the birds called P. simplex belong to this form, but 

 cannot jirove this. If my surmise is correct, then P. prillwitzi would merely be a 

 geographical lepreseutative of P. simplex and would best be called by a trinomial. 



The difference of the Javan bird probably explains part of the discrepancies 

 between the various statements about the colour of the iris, a cpiestion whicli could 

 easily be solved by Dr. Vordermau, Ma.x Bartals, or other resident ornithologists in 

 the east. The plate ix. in the Cat. B. represents my P. jirillwitzi, not Z'. simplex !
