1) As is already stated by Dr. Sharpe (N. L. M. 1884, p. 174) there does 

 no bird exist in the Leyden Museum, which can be meant by Blyth with his 

 M. murina S. Mull, than the Sumatran specimen of the present species, and 

 the name murina must erroneously be given by him from memory, the only 

 Myiothera murina Mull, in this Museum being Crateroscelis murina (see 

 Sharpe, Cat. B. VII).
