ąuarters of an inch long and considerably curved : the wing measures 

 7^ inches and the tail ]0 inches. 



Treron Capellei (Tem.). PI. Col. 143.— The largest of the genus, 

 and erroneously named 7nilifaris, in many museums. I inadvertently 

 described this as ne\v, under the name of magnirostris in the Ann. 

 Nat. Hist., v. xiv. p. 116. 



Treron fulvicollis (Wagl.), {T. tenuirostre, Eyton.) 

 Rollulus niger. — The female of this bird has been described by Mr. 

 Vigors under the name of Cryptonyx ferrugineus, and by Mr. Eyton 

 as Perdix aruginosus (Proc. Zool. Soc. part 7. p. 106). It departs 

 from the type of Rollulus in possessing a rudimentary hind claw. 



Turnix pugnax, Tem. PI. Col. 60. f. 2. — This seems to be the He- 

 mipodius atrogularis of Mr. Eyton, Proc. Zool. Soc. part 7, p. 107. 



Ralius striatus, Lin. (Ralius gularis, Horsf., Blj'th, &c.) — I have 

 specimens of this species from the Philippine Islands, Malacca and 

 Madras, ■which present no specific dilFerence, and which exactly agree 

 ■with Brisson's description of his Ralius philippensis striatus, on 

 ■R'hich R. striatus, Lin., is founded.
