298 Lord Tweeddale on Birds from 



40. Nyctiornis amicta. 



Merops amicta, Temm. PI. Col. 310, "Sumatra" (1824). 



Boruean and Malaccan examples in no respect diflFer. 

 Count Salvador! (/. c. p. 91) refers iV. malaccensis, Cab., to 

 the female, thus assuming that the female wants the crimson 

 pectoral and pink frontal plumes. I rather incline to the 

 belief that the adult birds of both sexes are alike, and that 

 the uniform green birds belong to a younger stage of plumage. 

 One of the examples obtained by Mr. Buxton is in plain green 

 dress {N. malaccensis) , but has one small frontal plume pink. 



41. Harpactes kasumba. 



Troffon kasumba, Raffles, /. c. p. 282 (1821), partim; Gould, 

 Mon. Trog. t. 10. 



Malaccan and Bornean examples do not differ. I retain 

 the title now usually adopted, although Sir S. Raffles con- 

 founded two species in his description. 



42. Harpactes duvauceli. 



Troffon duvaucelii, Temm. PL Col. 291 (1824), " Sumatra/' 

 Gould, Mon. Trog. t. 12. 



Trogon kasumba, Raffles, I.e., partim. 



Identical with examples from Malacca, where it occurs 

 along with H. rutilus (conf. Walden, Ibis, 1871, p. 161). Sir 

 S. Raffles described (/. c.) this species as being the young of 

 H. kasumba. 



43. Batrachostomus cornutus. 



Podargus cornutus, Tevava.. PI. Col. 159, '*' Bencoolen " (26 

 July, 1823). 



The example obtained by Mr. Buxton is in full rufous plu- 

 mage. It agrees with Bornean individuals. 



44. Lyncornis temmincki. 



Lyncornis temmincki, Gould, Icones Avium, t. 6, '^ Borneo " 

 (1838). 



Identical with Malaccan and typical examples. 



45. Macropteryx comatus. 



Cypselus comatus, Temm. PI. Col. 268, " Sumatra" (1824). 

 Malaccan examples do not differ.
