After having carefully examined the numerous specimens 

 in our Museum, I came to the conclusion, that Prof. 

 Schlegel was quite right when uniting all the different spe- 

 cies mentioned by Mr. Sharpe in P. Z. S. 1871 and in 

 his Monograph on the Kingfishers , as it seems really im- 

 possible to me to make out the species in all our diffe- 

 rent specimens of this group , without the aid of the lo- 

 cality mentioned on the labels. As the Linnean name capensis 

 must be rejected , Boddaert's name javana will have the 

 priority above leucocephala Gm.
