China, because it was contained in the same case with an " animal 

 porte-musc ^' sent direct from that country. Temminck com- 

 pared the type specimen in the Paris Museum with examples of 

 a Phyllornis said by him to be sent in large numbers from Java 

 and Sumatra^ and states that they did not differ from the type. 

 This species of Phyllornis Temminck figured (PI. Col. 484. fig. 

 2) from a Javan example, and he refers to that Plate as con- 

 taining the most exact resemblance of the species until then 

 published. Montbeillard's account agrees well with the figure 

 given by Temminck, and with Javan examples in my possession. 

 But the bird remarked on by Dr. Stoliczka is a totally distinct 

 species, namely Phyllornis malabaricus (auct. aj). Temm. PI. 

 Col. no. 512. fig. 2) =Ph. icterocephalus, Temm. aj). Bp. (1850), 

 a title which I presume must stand, although never published 

 by Temminck ; for I cannot concur with Horsfield and Moore 

 (Cat. E. I. Co. i. p. 411) in identifying the yellow-headed Phyl- 

 lornis with Chloroj)sis mysticalis, Swains. (1838). Indeed Dr. 

 Stoliczka's statement, that the female has the wings and tail 

 coloured like the male, effectually disposes of any such hypothesis. 

 Ph. mysticalis is either the female of PA. cyanopogon, Temm., or 

 else of a species of which the male has not been described. 

 Phyllornis cochinsinensis I have not as yet met with from 

 the Malay peninsula.

This title applies to the Javan species only — a distinct bird 

 with the entire head rufous-brown, and not ashy black. It is 

 also a much larger form^ with wings and tail about four inches 

 long. Lanius hres, Lesson, Voy. Belanger, p. 255, is synonymous. 

 The Malaccan species, which I find on comparison is identical 

 with the Sumatran, must stand as C. phaocephalus (Hartl.) 

 (Plate VI. f. 2) . It has received the following titles : — 



Ixosphceocephalus, Hartl. Rev. Zool. 1844, p. 401, ex Malacca. 



Tricophorus caniceps, Less. op. cit. 1845, p. 367, ex India. 



Pycnonotus rvfocaudatus, Eyton, Ann. Mag. N. Hist. xvi. p. 

 228 (1845), e.r Malacca. 



Criniger cantori, Moore, P. Z. S. 1854, p. 279, ex Malacca. 



Dr. Hartlaub's name must therefore be adopted.
