44 BULLETIN OF THE LIVERPOOL MUSEUMS. 
There would seem to be some mistake about these dimensions. Vorderman 
describes the bird as being smaller than RF. e/ongatus, but gives 161 mm. as the 
measurement of the wing. The wing of R. elongatus is, according to Shelley 
(Cat. Birds, Brit. Mus. xix. p. 389 (1891)), 5‘7 inches (= 145 mm.); the wing 
of our specimen is 143 mm. Vorderman has omitted to compare his sub-species 
with R. borneensis, from which it’seems very doubtfully distinct.

Wing, 125mm. One specimen is entirely without the yellowish brown wash on 
the breast and upper abdomen.

December). Sumatra (Lampongs, Gunung Tetahan). Java. 
Shelley (Cat. Birds, Brit. Mus. xix. p. 390 (1891)), does not include Java in the 
range of this species. :

Malay Peninsula. Borneo. 
R. sumatranus has not hitherto been recorded from the western side of the Bay of 
Bengal. The specimen from Coonoor Ghat was collected by W. Davison, and 
labelled by him &. viridirostris which it certainly is not. It is possible that the 
label may have been transposed by him with that on one of his Malaccan 
specimens.

PHNICOPHAES, Viei//. 
We have followed Lord Tweeddale (T.Z.S8. viii. p. 52) and Graf von Berlepsch 
(Noy. Zool. ii. pp. 70-73, 1895) in uniting the genera Rhamphococcyx, Cab. & 
Heine, Rhinococcyx, Sharpe, Urococcyx, Shelley, and Dryococcyx, Sharpe, with 
Phenicophaés, Vieill.

eneicaudus, 7. and Ll. Verr. 
The habitat of this species, which was previously unknown, has been recently 
recorded (Salvad. Ann. Mus. Civ. Gen. xiv. p. 590, (1894) ) as the island of Men- 
tawei, lying off the south-west coast of Sumatra. 
erythrognathus, Bp. Sixteen. 2¢. Malay Peninsula (Malacca; Pahang, 
January, March). Sumatra (Lampongs, Kotta Djawa). 
microrhinus, Berlepsch, Nov. Zool. ii. pp. 70-73 (1895). Five. Borneo 
(Banguey ; Labuan; Baram; Banjermassim). 
**Very similar to P. erythrognathus, Bp., from Malacca and Sumatra, but to be dis- 
tinguished by having the nasal apertures much smaller and narrower, oblong and 
not circular ; bill also weaker, as well as with the scarlet colour, at the base of 
the maxilla, more extensive and reaching to the upper margin of the nostrils ; 
the wings and tail are also shorter. Males and females :—Wing, 167-166; tail, 
250-233 ; culmen, 45-414; tarsus, 41-37 mm.” (Ber/epsch). 
We can confirm Von Berlepsch’s observation that this species differs from P. 
erythroguathus, principally in the form of the nostrils, which are smaller and 
more oblong instead of being larger and quite circular.
