611. Allotrius melanotis, Hodgson, is quite distinct 

 from its " double/' A. anobarbus, of Java. Mr. Wallace has 

 specimens of both species. Mr. Hodgson figures the egg as 

 white, thickly sprinkled with bright amethystine. 



614. LioTHRix LUTEUS IS " oftcn seen alive in cages from 

 Canton ; said to be brought from the interior," according to 

 Mr. Swinhoe (P. Z. S. 1863, p. 298; Ibis, 1865, p. 349). 



615, 616, 617, 623, and 624. Liothrix argexTxVuris, Siva 



STRIGULA, S. CYANOUROPTERA, IxULUS FLAVICOLLIS, and I. OC- 

 CIPITALIS, Gould, B. As. pt. XV. pis. 



L. argentauris and S. cyanouroptera were obtained by Col. 

 Tickell upon Moule-yit Mountain, Tenasserim. 



Mr. Hodgson figures the nest of Liothrix argentauris sus- 

 pended like that of an Oriole ; and the egg of Siva strigula as 

 blue, with rufous specks (not unlike a Blackbird's) ; of S. cya- 

 nouroptera as green, with large rufous spots (nest in a forked 

 branch) ; of M. castaneiceps white, with rufous specks, tending to 

 form a zone at the large endj and of Proparus chryseus as dull 

 white, with a few dusky spots. 



620. MiNLA ciNEREA has the throat and lower parts of a 

 very bright yellow in newly moulted plumage. 



625. IxULUS STRIATUS. 



With regard to Col. Tickell's remarks (Ibis, 1863, p. 113) 

 on the nomenclature of this species, how could I adopt such a 

 name as Pycnonotus nanus for it ? As far as possible, I ad- 

 hered to the MS. names Col. Tickell had imposed. 



627. YuHiNA OCCIPITALIS, Hodgson ; Gould, B. As. pt. xv. pi. 



629. Myzornis pyrrhoura, Hodgson ; Yuhina pyrrhoura, 

 Gray & Mitch. 111. Gen. Birds, pi. 53. 



630. Herpornis (errore Erpornis) xantholeuca. 



This curious form comes nearest, I think, to Zosterops. The 

 range of the species extends to Formosa (Ibis, 1866, p. 394). 



631. Zosterops palpebrosus. 



The Tenasserim Zosterops is one of three or more closely 

 allied races, which present certain constant differences. Z. 

 flavus, of Java, is black-tailed; that of Borneo (P. Z. S. 1863, 



N. s. — vol. III. D
