One Sumatran example is in the collection, and does not differ from the common Malaccan 

 C. malayensis. Count Salvadori has suggested that C. hasselti=C. malayensis ; but the former ibis, 1877, 

 is more nearly allied to C. luguhris, if the Bornean specimen marked C. hasselti in the British P' ' 

 Museum is correctly determined. 



Corydalla lugubris, Walden, differs from C. malayensis in having white superciliary patches 

 before the eye, in the breast-markings consisting of a few sparse narrow brown lines, and not 

 broad brown centres to the feathers, and in the ground-colour of the breast being albescent, and 

 not pale rufous. Above, the colouring and markings of the two species are very similar. 



98. Peinia familiaris. 



Prima familiaris, Horsf. t. c. p. 165, "Java" (1820); Zool. Res. Java, t. 52. 



Motacilla olivacea, Raffles, t. c. p. 313, "Sumatra" (1821). 



Mr. Buxton's Sumatran examples are identical with typical specimens. One of the Sumatran 

 birds possesses white lores. The species also occurs in the island of Madura. 



99. Prima rapflesi, sp. nov. (Plate VI. fig. 1, in orig.) 



Mr. Buxton's collection contains two examjDles of a species of Prima I am unable to identify. 

 It may be the same as M. olivacea. Raffles {I. c.); but that bird has been determined by Horsfield 

 and Moore (Mus. E.I. C. i. p. 320) to he P . familiaris. 



Above olive-green, front of head ashy. Lores, which extend partly over the eye, white. Chin, 

 throat, cheeks, and upper breast white. Lower breast, abdomen, flanks, ventral region, and under 

 tail-coverts piu-e canary-yellow. Thigh-coverts yellow, tinged with ferruginous. Carpal edge 

 and under carpal coverts yellow-white. Quills brown, with olive-green edgings. Rectrices pale 

 bro^vn, washed with green, and with an obscure darker brown subterminal spot and pale tips. 

 Bill black and slender as compared with that of P. familiaris. Bill from forehead 0'72, wing 

 1-18, tarsus 0-75, tail 2-50. 



Differs from P. familiaris in wanting the conspicuous white tips to the minor and major 

 wing-coverts, in being darker olive-green above, in the olive-green fringings of the quills and 

 colouring of the rectrices, in wanting a distinct brown cap, and in the brown subterminal tail- Il^is, 1877, 

 bands being indistinct and obscure, and the pale apical bands being narrower and ill defined. It
