UROCOCCYX ERYTHROGNATHUS (Harilaub). 
Phoenicophaeus erythrognathus Hartiaus, Syst. Verz. Naturhist. Samml. Ge- 
sellschaft Mus. [Bremen], pt. 1, 1844, p. 95 (Sumatra). 
One adult male, No. 170932, U.S.N.M., from Pulo Siantan, taken in 
heavy forest, September 11, 1899. Length 477 mm.; “iris blue; 
naked orbital skin red; bill green, base dull red; feet dark leaden.” 
In both size and color it is identical with birds from the Malay Penin- 
sula. 
Dr. C. Parrot’s recent reference of this species to the genus Lham- 
phococcyx * is not valid, since Urococcyx is generically distinct, as the 
structure of the nostrils well shows. 
Family ALCEDINIDAE. 
SAUROPATIS CHLORIS CYANESCENS Oberholser. 
Sauropatis chloris cyanescens OBERHOLSER, Proc. U. 8. Nat. Mus., vol. 52, Feb- 
ruary 8, 1917, p. 189 (Pulo Taya, eastern Sumatra). 
Two specimens of this recently described race are in the collec- 
tion—an adult male from Pulo Mobur, August 26, 1899; and an 
immature male from Pulo Mata, August 28, 1899. The latter is 
rather more greenish on the upper parts than the adult, has the 
crown somewhat more brownish, the forehead with whitish edgings, 
the white feathers of the breast tipped with dusky; and it is also 
somewhat smaller. Both examples are indistinguishable from 
Bornean specimens. Doctor Abbott saw this kingfisher also on 
Pulo Siantan, August 19 to September 13, 1899. 
The generic name Sauropatis Cabanis and Heine is, as already 
shown,? the proper one for the present species. Of the generic dis- 
tinctness of this group from Halcyon and Entomothera* there can be 
little doubt.
