Dissemurus platurus (Vieill.). 



Dicrurus platurus Vieillot, Nov. Diet. d'Hist. Nat. IX, 1817, p. 588. 

 Malabar ? 



Two specimens from Lampong and two from the highlands of 

 Padang. 



It does not seem clear just where Vieillot' s bird came from, but 

 from what material I have examined, it would seem thai the birds 

 of Java, Sumatra and Borneo are identical, and that the names 

 malayensis Blyth and brachyphorus Bp. are consequently synonyms 

 of the above. 



Eulabes javanensis (Osbeck). 



Oorvusjavanensis Osbeck, Voyage [English Traasl.], p. 157, 1771. 



Six specimens from Lampong. 



I fail to see how this species can be cited from Osbeck' s original 

 work which dales from 1757. In the German translation (1765) 

 the name is changed to G. rellgiosa Linn,, but in the English trans- 

 lation (1771) the original name is restored, consequently, inasmuch 

 as Linnseus' name seems applicable to the Indian bird, we can use 

 javanensis Osbeck, 1771, for this one. 



Lamprocorax chalybea (Horsf.). 



Turdus chalybeus Horsfield, Trans. Linn. Soc, XIII, p, 148, 1831. 

 Java, 



Two examples from the Padang highlands and five from Lam- 

 pong, 



This species is described under three different names in the same 

 volume of the Linncean Transactions. On the same page as the 

 above Horsfield describes the female as Turdus strigatus, but in 

 accordance with the A. O. U. code, we should give precedence to 

 the name based on the male, even though the other stands first, 



Sturnopastor jalla (Horsf.). 



Pastor jalla Horsfield, Trans, Linn, Soc, XIII, p. 155, 1821. Java. 

 Three specimens from Lampong. 

 Corvus macrorhynclios Wagl. 



Corms Macrorhynchos Wagler, Syst. Av. Corvus, Sp. 3. Sumatra 

 and Java. 

 Two specimens from Lampong, just completing the post-juvenal 

 molt.
