1877.] DISTEICT OF LAMPONG, S.E. SUMATEA. 491 



plumage has a yellow tint, but not so bright and pure as in M scajpidaris and its allies. From 

 the plumage of the head being dark green, the yellow orbits contrast more conspicuously in 

 ^. viridissima ? than in the females of the other species. The edgings to all the quills are 

 greenish yellow, and not pure yellow or Avhitish yellow. 



Bornean and Malaccan examples do not differ from the Sumatran.

p. 305. 



Turdtis viridis, Horsf t. c. p. 148, "Java" (1820), nee Gm. 



Melipliaga janensis, Horsf t. c. p. 152. 



Turdus cocUnchinensis, Gm., var., Eaffles, t. c. p. 309, " Sumatra." 



Chloro])sis zosterops. Vigors, App. Mem. Raffles, p. 674, " Sumatra" (1830). 



Malaccan and Bornean individuals do not differ from Sumatran. Although there is no 

 doubt that M. javensis, Horsf, refers to this species, for the types were compared {vide Horsf. 

 & Moore, Cat. Mus. E.I. C. i. p. 261), still I concur with Count Salvador! in rejecting the name; 

 for it was published without any diagnosis, and the titles of two other very distinct species of 

 Plii/llornis were given as explanatory synonyms. The description of T. viridis has, moreover, 

 precedence in the list, and is perhaps a better title than javensis, which tends to circumscribe the 

 geographical range. Count Salvador!, however, passes over the title of viridis also, and adopts 

 that of sonneratii, Jard. & Selby. 



73. Phtllornis icterocephala. 



Turdus cochinchinensis, Gm., Raffles, f. c. j). 309, " Sumatra." 



Phyllornis malabaricus, Gm., Temm. PI. Col. 512. f 2, "Sumatra" (1829). 



Phyllornis icterocephalus, Lesson, Rev. Zool. 1840, p. 164, ex Temm. 



Malaccan individuals offer no points of difference. But a Bornean male from Simanjou has 

 the blue of the shoulders of a perceptibly darker shade, and belongs to P. viridiimcha, Sharpe, 

 a species the validity of which I am somewhat doubtful of. 



74. Phyllornis ctanopogon. 



Phyllornis ajanopogon, Temm. PL Col. 512. f 1, " Sumatra" (1829). 



Specimens from Malacca are not separable. P. mystacalis, Sw. (2| Cent. p. 296), is either Ibis, 1877, 

 the female or young male of this species. 



75. Ixus analis. 



Turdus analis, Horsf t. c. p. 147, " Java" (1820) ; Raffles, t. c. p. 310, " Sumatra." 



Otocompsa personata, Hume, Str. F. 1873, p. 456, "Acheen." 



Inseparable from typical specimens, and identical with Malaccan and Bornean examples. 



76. CrINIGER PH.SOCEPHALUS. 



Ixos phceocephalus, Hartl. Rev. Zool. 1844, p. 401, " Malacca;" Walden, Ibis, 1871, p. 169, 

 t. 6. f 2. [Antea, p. 107.] 



Sumatran and typical examples are identical.
