the District of Lampong, S.E. Sumatra. 301 



Identical with typical examples. Count Salvadori has be- 

 stowed a fresh title, on acconnt of the hybrid construction of 

 the name given by Eyton. 



55. Arachnothera chrysogenys. 



Nectarinia chrysogenys, Temm. PI. Col. 388. f. 1, " Java " 

 (1826) . 



Certhia longirostra, Lath., Raffles, t. c. p. 299, " Sumatra," 

 nee Lath. 



Sumatran, Bornean (N.E.), and Malaccan examples do not 

 differ. 



56. Arachnothera temmincki. 



Arachnothera temmincki, Moore, Cat. E.I. C. Mus. ii. 

 p. 728, " Malacca ? " (1856-58) . 



One Lampong example, obtained by Mr. Buxton, is insepa- 

 rable from Malaccan individuals. 



57. Arachnophila simplex. 



Nectarinia simplex, S. Miiller, Verb. Nat. Gesch. Ned. 

 Overz. Bez., Land- en Volkenk. p. 172, note, ''Sumatra, 

 Borneo'-' (1843) ; op. cit. Zool. Aves, p. 62, t. 8. f. 4 (1846) ; 

 Walden, Ibis, 1870, p. 31. 



Arachnophila simplex (S. Miiller) ; Salvadori, t. c. p. 172. 



A single example of this rare Sun-bird {^) is in the collec- 

 tion. Reichenbach's generic title, Arachnor aphis, cannot be 

 used, being partly founded on a Malaccan Arachnothera {A. 

 flavigastra, Eyton) and partly on the New-Ireland Nectarinia 

 flavigastr a, Gould { = A.frenata) . A. *mj9Ze<r,Miill.&Schlegel, 

 ex Lombock, Gray's Hand-1. no. 1370, is a true Arachno- 

 thera from Lombock, discovered by Mr. Wallace, and has 

 nothing to do with the species it is there referred to. 



58. ^thopyga siparaja. 



Certhia siparaja, Raffles, t. c. p. 299, "Sumatra" (1821) ; 

 Walden, Ibis, 1870, p. 33. 



^thopyga eupogon. Cab. Mus. Hein. i. p. 103, note, "Ma- 

 lacca, Borneo '^ (1850-51). 



The examples from S.E. Sumatra are identical with Ma- 

 laccan, Pinang, and Bornean specimens. Cabanis's title of 

 eupogon must therefore fall.
