a collection of birds, principally on Mount Singalan (a vol- 

 canic cone of about 8900 feet altitude) , where his cabin was 

 situated at an altitude of 5000 feet, at the commencement of 

 the virgin forest. The collection contained 506 specimens, 

 which Prof. Salvador! refers to 179 species, of which the 

 following 24 are described as new : — 



Chrysophlegma mystacalis, p. 182. Rimator albostriatus, p. 224. 



Oaprimulg-us pulchellus, p. 195. Brachypteryx saturata, p. 225. 



Niltava sumatrana, p. 201. flaviventris, p. 226. 



Stoparola ruficrissa, p. 202. Myioplioneus dicrorliynclius, p. 227. 



Rhipidura atrata, p. 203. Arrenga melariura, p. 227. 



Pericrocotus montanus, p. 205. Cochoa beccarii, p. 228. 



Graucalus melanoceplialus, p. 206. Liotlirix lauiinse, p. 231. 



Hemipiis intermedius, p. 209. Heteropliasia simillima, p. 232. 



Hyloterpe bruimeicauda, p. 210. Pterutliiiis cameranoi, p. 232. 



Zosterops atricapilla, p. 215. Prinia hypoxantlia, p. 235. 



Stacliyris bocagei, p. 223. Acomus inoruatus, p. 250. 



Turdinus nifipectus, p. 224. Peloperdix rubrirostris, 251. 



Prof. Salvador! observes that the present collection con- 

 tains representatives of many Indo-Chinese genera which 

 were not found in the collection from Lampoiig, in South- 

 eastern Sumatra, lately described by Lord Tweeddale (Ibis, 

 1877, p. 283), such as Vivia, Chrysophlegma, Psarisomus, Nil- 

 tava, Ritnator, Heterophasia, Liothrix, Garrulax, &c. The 

 collection has, we need hardly say, been worked out by Prof. 

 Salvador! in his usual thorough way, and the memoir is a 

 most valuable contribution to our knowledge of the still im- 

 perfectly known ornithology of Sumatra.

Of Hirundinidae only three species are found in the region 

 treated of by Prof. Salvador!, all of which are well-known 

 species. Of Muscicapidse, however, 106 species are enume- 

 rated, and the exact localities where each has been found
