Hab. Malacca, Sumatra (Leyd. Mus.) and Borneo, where 

 it is recorded from the South (Schwaner, Leyd. Mus.), from 

 Sandakan, Kina Balu and the mountain-regions of Sarawak. 



Pittidae. 



211. Fitta cyanoptera. 



Pitta cyanoptera Temm. PL Col. 218 (1823); Schleg. Vog. Ned. Ind. 

 Pitta, pp. 9 and 82, pi. 4, fig. 1 ; Salvad. Ucc. Born. p. 235 ; Everett, 

 L. B. Born. p. 147; Sharpe, Ibis 1889, p. 442. 



1) In this paper Sharpe identified the specimens of Napotkera pliaionota 

 Kuhl MS. from Java in the Leyden Museum with Alcippe cinerea Blyth. 

 This opinion is decidedly wrong, as N. phaionofa undoubtedly belongs to Al- 

 cippe pyrrhoptera, of which the Leyden Museum possesses a great number of 

 specimens from Java and Sumatra. Salvadori (I.e.) mentions Alcippe pyrrJio- 

 ptera, but I feel sure that a re-examination of his specimens from Borneo, if 

 really obtained on that island, will prove that they belong to A. cinerea.
