230 ON MERULA JAVANICA AND M. FUMIDA. 



Temm.", another useless synonym, as, at least in our 

 Museum , there is no specimen labelled » T. vulcanus Temm." 

 or » T. concolor Temm.", another synonym incorrectly be- 

 stowed on Temminck as author. Another specimen men- 

 tioned by von Pelzeln s. n. »Turdus vulcanus" was shot 

 by Zelebor on the top of Mt. Pangerango (10,000 feet 

 high) in Western Java, the same locality where Wallace 

 obtained one specimen (Scl. Ibis, 1875, p. 346, Note). 

 This species (as well as its allies) being confined to the 

 highest mountains , is therefore difficult to get and 

 consequently very rare in collections. 



The third Javan mountain ouzel is : 



Merula whiteheadi, Seeb. Bull. B. 0. C. N». V (June 26th) 

 1893. — id. Ibis, 1893, pp. 221 and 257. 



Discovered by Mr. John Whitehead (in August 1886) 

 on Mt. Tosari (7000 feet high) in Eastern Java. This 

 species in distinguished at once in having a greyish head, 

 (»capite canescente" Seeb.). According to Seebohm M. White" 

 headi is confined to East-Java, but Mr. Hartert enumerates 

 from this region also » J/, javanica (Horsf.)", as obtained 

 by Doherty in 1896 on the neighbouring Peak Arjiino 

 (^8000—8300 f. h.) — See: »Novitates zool. Ill, 1896, p. 538.
