192. Ceyx rufidorsus rufidorsus (Strickl.). 



Ceyx rufidorsa, KStrickland, P. Z. S. 1846, p. 99 (Malacca) ; B., 



p. 45 (Junk Seylon). 

 Ceyx euerythra, Sharpe, Cat. Birds Brit. Mus. xvii, 1892, p. 179 



(Klang, Selangor) ; F., p. 34 (Trang) ; H. p. 92 (Bandon). 

 Ceyx rujidorsa rujidorsa, Hartert, Nov. Zool. ix, 1902, p. 430. 



The specimens referred to above from Bandon represent the 

 northernmost extension of this species. 



We have for the present followed Dr. Hartert in using 

 Strickland's name for this bird and not that of Sharpe. We fail to 

 see, however, even if Strickland's type is not an immature Ceyx 

 tridactylus, why it should not be regarded as a young specimen of 

 Ceyx dilwynni.
