Sharpe ; 15. Pitta propinqua (Sliarpe) ; 16. Acrocephalus 

 oj'ientalis (Temm. & Sclileg.) ; 17. Sturnia violacea (Bodd.) ; 

 18. Leucotreron leclancheri (Bp.) ; 19. Myristlcivora bicoJor 

 (Scop.) (a species which, by-the-by, Sharpe himself in 

 1877 mentioned as observed by Steere in Palawan) ; 20. 

 Turtur dussianieri (Temm.); 21. Calcenas nicobarica (Linn.); 

 22. Gallus bankiva (Temm.) ; 23. Turnix haynaldi, nov. sp. ; 

 24. Rallina fasciata (Eaffl.) ; 25. Amaurornis phmnicura 

 (Penn.) ; 26. Char adrius fulvus, Gmel. ; 27 . jEgialitis vereda 

 (Gould) ; 28. Limicola platyrhyncha (Temm.) ; 29. Tringa 

 albescens, Temm. ; 30. Bvbulcus coromandus (Bodd.) (a 

 species noticed in 1878 by both Sharpe and Tweeddale, but 

 now omitted by Sharpe without any reason assigned) ; 

 31. Sterna melanauchen, Temm.; and 32. Anous stolidus 

 (Linn.). 



All the remaining species seem to appear both in Sharpens 

 and my list, although in some instances under different 

 names, the differences arising in some cases from simple 

 difference of nomenclature, in others from divergence of our 

 opinions coucerning the limits of genera and species and 

 similar causes. 



For instance, I consider the following as synonyms : —
