338 : ZOOLOGICAL GEOGRAPHY. [PART III. 
of Timaliide ; Ewpetes,a most remarkable form, perhaps allied 
to Enicurus, and Cinclus; Rhabdornis (Certhiide) found only in 
the Philippines; Psaltria, a diminutive bird of doubtful affinities, 
provisionally classed among the tits (Paridze); Setornis (Pycnono- 
tide) ; Lalage (Campephagide) extending eastward to the Pacific 
Islands ; Pycnosphrys, Philentoma (Muscicapide) ; Laniellus, 
a beautiful bird doubtfully classed with the shrikes (Laniide) ; 
Platylophus and Pityriasis, the latter a most anomalous form— 
perhaps a distinct family, at present classed with the jays, in 
Corvide ; Prionochilus, a curious form classed with Diczeide ; 
Erythrura (Ploceide), extending eastwards to the Fiji Islands ; 
Gymnops, Calornis, (Sturnidz); Hurylemus, Corydon, and Calyp- 
tomena (Eurylemide) ; Hucichla, the longest tailed and most 
elegantly marked of the Pittide ; Reinwardtipicus and Miglyptes 
(Picide) ; Psilopogon and Calorhamphus, (Megalemide) ; Rhino- 
coccyx, Dasylophus, Lepidogrammus, Carpococcyx, Zanclostomus, 
Poliococeyx, Rhinortha, (Cuculide) ; Berenicornis, Caldo, Cranor- 
hinus, Penelopides, Rhinoplax, (Bucerotidz) ; Psittinus, (Psitta- 
cide); Ptilopus, Phapitreron, (Columbide); Rollulus, (Trero- 
nid); Macherhamphus, (Falconide). Many of these genera are 
abundant and wide-spread, while some of the most characteristic 
Himalayan genera, such as Larvivora, Garrulax, Hypsipetes, 
Pomatorhinus, and Dendrocitta, are here represented by only 
a few species. 
Among the groups that are characteristic of the Malayan 
sub-region, the Timaliidz and Pycnonotidé stand pre-eminent; the 
former represented chiefly by the genera 7imalia, Malacopteron, 
Macronus, and Trichastoma, the latter by Criniger, Microscelis, 
and many forms of Pycnonotus. The Muscicapide, Dicruride, 
Campephagide, Ploceide, and Nectariniide are also well 
developed ; as well as the Pittide, and the Eurylemide, the 
limited number of species of the latter being compensated by 
a tolerable abundance of individuals. Among the Picariz are 
many conspicuous groups; as, woodpeckers (Picide); barbets 
(Megalemidee) ; trogons (Trogonide); kingfishers (Alcedinide) ; 
and hornbills (Bucerotide) ; five families which are perhaps the 
most conspicuous in the whole fauna. Lastly come the pigeons
