Mr. E. Hargitt on the Genus Chrysophlegma. 269 



female of his C. mentale are not taken from the Javan bird, 

 his description of the young male is taken from a Javan 

 example in the Leiden Museum, which I have seen. As 

 regards Malherbe's representations of the present species in 

 his 'Monograph^ (pi, Ixxv. figs. 4, 5), the male is not the 

 Javan bird; the figure of the female is partly taken from 

 C. mentale, and partly from the Malaccan bird ; the side of 

 the face is characteristic of the Javan species, but the throat 

 has been altered to be in harmony with the author's views. 

 Malherbe considered the birds having spotted throats to be 

 the young, and those having the striped throat he regarded 

 as the adnlt ; and if the adult Javan birds at present in the 

 Leiden Museum were in the collection when it was visited 

 by that writer, he would have looked upon them as immature, 

 and have figured as adult the striped-throated bird, which is 

 another species. 



C. mentale has a limited range, being confined to the 

 Island of Java. My descriptions of the adult male and of 

 the fledgling are taken from specimens in the Leiden 

 Museum, that of the female being taken from an example 

 in the British Museum.
