10 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. vox.. 64. 



contention Kloss is in error, Linnaeus was nonbinomial in the 

 Fauna Suecica until the 1761 edition and the names used there 

 before that time have no standing. Now as Linnaeus himself re- 

 stricted the type locality by writing : " India oriental! : Pouli candor, 

 etc.," when he named the species in the first work in which he was 

 consistently binomial and which is universally recognized as the 

 starting point of our modern nomenclature, it seems to me the three 

 races of the Red Jungle Fowl that have been recognized to date 

 should stand as follows : 



(a) Gallus gallus gallus (Linnaeus), Syst. Nat., ed. 10, 1758, p. 

 158 (Pulau Condor, off the mouth of the Mekong). 



{h) Gallus gallus hankiva Temminck, Pig. et Gall., vol. 2, 1813, pL 

 87 (Java). 



(c) Gallus gallus tnurghi Robinson and Kloss, Records Indian 

 Mus., vol. 19, 1920, p. 14 (Chirala, Gya District, Bihar). 



The ranges will be the same as those given by Robinson and Kloss- 

 in the last paper cited above.

 5. DENDROPHASSA GRISEICAUDA GRISEICAUDA (Wallace). 



A good series from the following localities : Kwala Besar, August 

 24, 1914; Tandjong Penjoe, February 19-25, 1915; Likoepang, March 

 4-10, 1916; Toemaratas, July 6-8, 1916; Parigi, September 25, 1916; 

 Toboli, October 25, 1916; Koelawi, January 31, 1917; Rano Lindoe,. 

 March 6-15, 1917; Gimpoe, August 8 and 28, 1917; Doda, Besoa^ 

 October 24, 1917; Pinedapa, February 8, 1918. 



Treron griselcauda G. R. Gray ^^ is a nomen nudum and when 

 Wallace^*' took up the name and published a description, basing it 

 upon the Sula Island and Celebes birds (Salvadori^^ states the types 

 as from Macassar), he first gave it nomenclatural status, unless 

 Schlegel's ^^ use of the name should prove to be prior. This would 

 make OsTnotreron walluccl Salvador! ^^ a pure synonym of Treron 

 grisei-cauda Wallace and the name of the Java race would become^ 

 Dendrophmsa griseicauda pulverulenta Wallace.^* 



A young male taken at Doda, Besoa, October 24, 1917, is not long- 

 from the nest, if indeed it had left it. It is parrot green, with the
