At the same time I endeavoured to find the types of 

 Bonaparte's Pericrocoti, described by him in the 'Con- 

 spectus' from Boie's MSS. names , as P. ardens and P. fia- 

 grans. There are not any specimens actually labelled with 

 these names either by Boie or Bonaparte, and the titles 

 were probably copied from the MSS. of the former. One 

 can, however, determine the species by examining the 

 specimens which were in the Leyden Museum when Bona- 

 parte wrote , and which agree with his descriptions. 



Of P. ardens , the only adult bird from Sumatra , of 

 earlier date than 1850 , is one of S. Muller 's , and this 

 is perhaps the bird described by Bonaparte. It is the 

 species without any red spots on the four outer primaries , 

 and is the same bird that I call P. xanthogaster (Raffles^. 



There are two males and a female from Borneo , which 

 are apparently the types of Pericrocotus fiagrans of the 

 Conspectus. They are marked »P. mimctus , Temm." and 

 are the same as Blyth's Pericrocotus minntus.
