;3lO Lord Tvveeddale un Birds from 



Sliarpe [I.e.) has recently bestowed a new title, //roA/ewa^icMS, 

 on the Bornean form, giving as its distinctive character the 

 black-centred under wing-coverts. 



94. Henicurus frontalis. 



Enicurus frontalis, Blyth, J. A. S. B. 1847, p. 156, '^ Ma- 

 lacca;" Elwes, Ibis, 1872, p. 259, t. ix. 



Hitherto only recorded as inhabiting Malacca. Closely 

 allied to H. leschenaulti, but of smaller dimensions. In one 

 of Mr. Buxton^s examples the white tips of the fourth pair of 

 outer rectrices overlap the black portion of the third outer pair. 

 In another individual the fourth pair is much shorter, and 

 the white bars on the tail appear as represented in Mr. Elwes''s 

 plate. Both birds are otherwise alike and in full plumage, 

 the frontal plumes being much developed and fully equalling, 

 if not exceeding, the frontal crest of Javan H. leschenaulti. 



In all Ningpo examples of fully plumaged specimens of H. 

 leschenaulti {E. chinensis) I have examined, the outer pair of 

 tail-feathers are about an incii shorter than the second pair, 

 whereas in typical (Jayan) H. leschenaulti, the outer pair 

 equals the next pair ; and this holds good in individuals from 

 the Dafla hills and Tenasserim. The Javan bird is also con- 

 siderably smaller than the Chinese species. 



95. Calobates melaxope. 



Motacilla melanope, Pallas, It. iii. p. 69G (1776). 

 Motacilla bistrigata, Haffles, t. c. p. [M2, "Sumatra" (1821). 



96. Budytes viridis. 



Motacilla viridis, Gm. S. N. i. p. 962 (1788). 



97. CORYDALLA MALAYENSIS. 



Anthus malayensis, Eyton, P. Z. S. p. 104, " Malacca." 



(?) Anthus hasseltii, Temm. ; Schlegel, Handleiding Dierk. 

 i. p. 263, "Java" (1857). 



Alauda pratensis, Linn., apud Raffles, t.c. p. 315, "Su- 

 matra," nee Linn. 



One Sumatran example is in the collection, and does not 

 differ from the common Malaccan C. malayensis. Count 

 Salvadori has suggested that C. hasselti = C. malayensis ; but
