1. The existiag species and their distribution 



The forms of the genus Chrysococcyx and their ranges are as follows: 



1. C. malayanus (Raffles): Malay Penmsula (from Patani southward), the 

 Philipphie Islands, the East Indies (Java, Sumatra, Borneo, Celebes), the 

 Moluccas, the Lesser Sunda Islands, New Guinea, and adjacent islands, and 

 northern Australia. In this vast range the species has become differentiated into 

 11 races, as follows: 



C. malayanus malayanus (Raffles): Malay Peninsula from Patani southward, 

 the Philippine Islands (Negros, Mindanao, Basilan, Tawi Tawi, Bongao), and 

 Sumatra. 



C. malayanus albifrons (Junge) : Java. 



C malayanus aheneus (Junge): Borneo (including Maratua Island). •* 



C. malayanus jungei (Stresemann) : central and southern Celebes. 



C. malayanus rufomerus (Hartert) : Lesser Sunda Islands (Roma, Damar, Leti, 

 Moa, Sermatta, Timor, Sumba, Kisar[?]). 



C. malayanus salvadorii (Hartert and Stresemann) : Babar Island (known only 

 from the type from Tepa) . 



C. malayanus misoriensis (Salvadori) : Biak Island in Geelvink Bay. 



C. malayanus poecilurus (G. R. Gray): Western Papuan Islands, Wagieu, 

 Misol, Aru Islands, Vulcan Island, Dampier Island, Fergusson Island, all of New 

 Guinea except part of the south coast. 



C. malayanus russatus (Gould): Cape York Peninsula of northern Australia, 

 and the Merauke area to the Mimika River, of southern New Guinea. 



C. malayanus minutillus (Gould) : northern Australia from the Kimberly district 

 in the northwest, to Arnhem Land and to northern Queensland south of the range 

 of russatus; also Melville Island (considered by some as a distinct species, although 

 poorly differentiated from malayanus) . 



C. malayanus crassirostris (Salvadori) : the IVIoluccas (Halmahera, Ternate, 

 Buru, Ceram, Amboina, Goram, Tenimber Islands, Kei Islands, Soron (one 

 dubious record), northwestern New Guinea; and also listed from Kisar Island, 

 from which place the race rufomerus has also been reported (no Kisar specimens 

 seen by the author). 



2. C. lucidus (Gmelin): breeds in New Zealand, Chatham Islands, possibly 

 Norfolk and Lord Howe Islands, Tasmania, southern Australia, the Santa Cruz 

 Islands, Banks Island, the New Hebrides, the Loyalty Islands, New Caledonia, 

 Rennell and Bellona Islands; in winter in the Lesser Sunda Islands, New Guinea, 

 the Solomon Islands and the Bismarck Archipelago. The species is divided into 

 four races, as follows: 



C. lucidus lucidus (Gmelin): breeds in New Zealand and the Chatham Islands 

 (possibly also in Norfolk and Lord Howe Islands) ; winters in the Solomon Islands, 



IS According to Smythles (1960, p. 255): "There is a possibility that a similar but distinct species occurs on 

 Kinabalu . . . ," but I liave seen no evidence, or specimen material of it.
