372 Viscount Walden on a 



to Daubenton's 6,29th plate, and within whose range he includes 

 Sumatra; on the other he bestowed the above title, restrict- 

 its range to Borneo. Without questioning the fact that two dis- 

 tinct species of fasciated Cuckoo- Shrikes may inhabit Borneo, 

 only one is known in the Malay peninsula, which we may by 

 analogy infer to be the same as the Sumatran ; and this species 

 is certainly not Coracina fasciata, Vieillot. Indeed the Malaccan 

 Graucalus has never had a distinctive title bestowed upon it, it 

 having been confounded with the bird figured by Daubenton, 

 pi. 629, a Philippine species and totally distinct. I adopt, 

 therefore, for the Bornean and Malaccan Graucalus, Dr. Hart- 

 laub's title.

"Marup, d, iris brown, July, pairing." 



It is with some doubt that I identify the example sent with 

 P. ardens, Boie ; for the Indo-Malayan members of the genus 

 have never been brought together and satisfactorily identified. 

 This Marup bird agrees in all respects with Sumatran and Ma- 

 laccan individuals. In colouring it closely resembles P. speciosus 

 (Lath.), of which it is nothing but a miniature form. Wing 

 3"18 inches, tail 3*37. Muscicipa miniata, Temm. PL Col. 156. 

 fig. 1, " Java," if not the same species, may be the Javan repre- 

 sentative form. The bird represented (/. c. fig. 2) must be another 

 species.

" Marup, 2 , iris brown, July, not breeding." 



Streak over the eye but not extending beyond, cheeks, fore- 

 head, chin, throat, all the under surface of the body, under 

 shoulder-coverts, and underside of the wing-band deep golden. 

 Sides of the head pale ash. Head and back slate-grey ; tips of 

 the rump-feathers orange-red. Upper tail-coverts bright orange- 

 red. Alar bar above orange-yellow. Middle pair of rectrices 

 brown, lateral orange-red. Wing 2*80 inches, tail 2'95. 



The style of plumage of this example is certainly never met 

 with in P.peregrinus, which it barely exceeds in dimensions;
