29/4 1915; 1 ? «/5 1915; 1 $ ^2^^ I915 ^g compared witli a 

 series from Java the specimens from the Malay Peninsula 

 seems to be somewhat darker, all the Javan birds having the 

 feathers of the upper parts of the body tinged with rufous 

 which colour seems to be totally absent in the Perak speci- 

 mens. In some specimens coUected at Koh Lak in the 

 Siamese Malaya at about Lat. N. 12° traces of the rufous 

 tinge of the upper parts of the body are, however, visible. 

 These specimens were all obtained in November and the 

 Javan specimens in January to Februari, while the Perak 

 specimens were collected in April and May. Thus the rufous 

 colour may perhaps only be considered as a seasonal plumage. 



48. Hypothymis azurea propliata Oberh. — 1 J" ^7* 

 1915; 1 ? 24/4 1915. The Malayan race of the Black-naped 

 Flycatcher has been separated by Oberholser under the 

 name of H. a. prophata (Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus. Vol. 39, 1911,

 the sides and the upper parts of the abdomen more distincth' 

 tinged with blue.

 are very badly preserved which has made the Identification 

 of these difficult birds rather uneertain. They are, however, 

 probably referable to the above-mentioned race, their wings 

 measuring about 73 mm.

 compared with some skins from Borneo in the collections of 

 the Royal Natural History Museum of Stockholm (Borneo is 

 to be considered as the type locality of true C. macro- 

 rhynchus Gm.) the Mala3^an specimens may be distinguished 

 by having some white spöts on the outer webs of the three
