Malaccan and Bornean individuals do not differ from Su- 

 matran. Although there is no doubt that M. javensis, Horsf., 

 refers to this species, for the types were compared [vide Horsf. 

 & Moore, Cat. Mus. E.I. C. i. p. 261), still I concur with 

 Count Salvadori in rejecting the name ; for it was published 

 without any diagnosis, and the titles of two other very dis- 

 tinct species of Phyllornis were given as explanatory syn- 

 onyms. The description of T. viridis has, moreover, pre- 

 cedence in the list, and is perhaps a better title i\\a?a. javensis, 

 which tends to circumscribe the geographical range. Count 

 Salvadori, however, passes over the title of viridis also, and 

 adopts that of sonneratii, Jard. & Selby.

Malaccan individuals offer no points of difference. But a 

 Bornean male from Simanjou has the blue o£ the shoulders 

 of a perceptibly darker shade, and belongs to P. viridinucha, 

 Sharpe, a species the validity of which I am somewhat 

 doubtful of.
