20. Hydrocissa albirostris (Shaw) ; Salvad. t. cit. p. 80. 

 No. 338, ? . Tarratas, S. Sumatra. Irides reddish 



brown ; crest on the upper mandible marbled with yellowish 

 grey and with a broad black bar along the anterior end 

 laterally on both sides, posterior end laterally black, apex 

 bluish ; lower mandible margined behind with a black band, 

 which comes down in front of the eye to angle of the 

 mandible ; skin round eye pale whitish blue ; legs and feet

21. Hydrocissa malayana (Raffl.) ; Salvad. t. cit. p. 83.

eyelids black ; legs and feet black ; bill white, with a crescent- 

 shaped elevation.

 eyelids yellow ; both upper and under mandibles greenish ; 

 feet and legs black. 



22. Pelargopsis fraseri, Sharpe ; Tweedd. /. cit. p. 296 ; 

 Salvad, t. cit. p. 194. 



No. 266, ? . Gounong Tetahan. Irides dark brown ; 

 legs and feet bright scarlet ; bill scarlet, tip black. 



The specimen now sent by Mr. Forbes bears out the 

 observation of Lord Tweeddale that this form is nearest to 

 P. fraseri of Sharpe, but has too much cap to be absolutely 

 identical with that species as described. The Stork-billed 

 Kingfishers need revision.
