Sculopax saturata is confined to the liigli mountains of 

 Java ; it has been found only on Mount Prahu (7000 feet 

 high) and on Mount Salak, whei'e, according to Dr. Vor- 

 dernian, Mr. Goldman killed one specimen on the 10th Oc- 

 tober, 1882. I have failed to ascertain in which part of Java 

 Boie obtained the two specimens in the Lcyden Museum. 

 Most likely from the same source is the specimen in the Mu- 

 seum of Turin.
