500 ON A COLLECTION 0¥ BIRDS FEOM THE [1877. 



120. Ecrylj:mus ochromei^vs. 



Eurylahmis ochromalus, Eaffles, t. c. p. 297, "Sumatra and Singapore" (1821). 

 Bornean, Penang, and Malaccan individuals are not to be distinguished from Sumatran. 



121. CORYDOX SUMATRAKUS. 



Coracias sumatranus, Raflaes, t. c. p. 303, " Sumatra " (1821). 



Birds from the Karen hills, Tenasserim, Malacca, and Borneo exhibit no departure from the 

 typical examples obtained by Mr. Buxton. 



122. Padda ortzitoea. 



Loxia oryzivora, Linn. S. N. i. p. 302 (1766). 



Ibis, 1877, 123. McxiA maja. 



p. 318. 



Loocia maja, Linn. S. N. i. p. 301 (17G6). 



Count Salvadori {t. c. p. 265) has controverted a suggestion of mine that this bird is 

 replaced in Java by M. ferruginea (Sparrm.)=iLr. majanoides, Temm., on the ground that an 

 undoubted example was obtained in Java by the " Magenta " Expedition. This evidence, 

 however, appears hardly sufficient ; for hundreds of Munias of almost every species may be 

 bought at the different ports in the east, far away from theii- origin. 



124. MUXIA LEUCOGASTROIDES. 



Mimia leiicogastroides, Moore, Cat. E.l. C. Mus. ii. p. 510. no. 777, "Java" (1856-58); 

 Walden, Ibis, 1874, p. 145. [Antea, p. 266.] 



The Sumatran examples do not differ from Javan. 



125. PlOCEUS MACULATtJS. 



Loxia maculata, L. S. Miiller, Suppl. p. 150. no. 56 (1776). 



Loxia phUippina, Linn. S. N. i. p. 305 (1766); AValden, Tr. Z. S. ix. p. 209. 



Ploceus bay a, Blyth, J. A. S. B, xiii. p. 945. 



Mr. Buxton's collection only contains examples of females or non-breeding males of the 

 Malayan race of P. laya, Blyth. As thei'e seems to be little doubt that the species does not 

 occur in the Philippines, I have adopted the next published title. 



126. PL.\TySMURUS LECCOPTERUS. 



Glaucopis leucopterus, Temm. PI. Col. 265, "Sumatra" (1824). 

 Malaccan examples are identical. 



127. Crypsirhixa tarians. 



Corvus varians, Lath. Ind. Om., Suppl. p. 26, " Java " (1801). 

 Examples from Burma, Java, and Sumatra are of one species.
