1 9^ 8'] to Messrs. Robinson and Kloss. 595 



The wing, it will be noticed, is only 76-2 mm. and not 

 80 mm, as given by Fiiisch. Description and size therefore 

 agree well with the bird hitherto accepted as Setaria rufi- 

 frons^ and this name must stand. Mr. Kloss was, of course 

 misled by Finsch^s description. 



i-'Mixornis rubricapilla sulphnrea. 

 Kloss, Ibis, 1918, p. 204. 

 Rippon^s type of Stachyridopsis sulphurea is Miwornis 

 rubricapilla pure and simple. Under any circumstances 

 the specific name will be sumatrana, that being the oldest 

 now that gularis cannot stand, and this is indeed pointed 

 out very correctly by Kloss. 



I cannot myself distinguish Siamese birds from rubri- 

 capilla, but if they are to be separated, Gyldenstolpe's name, 

 minur (Kongi. Sv. Vet.-Akad. Handl. Ivi. 1916, No. 2, p. 60), 

 must stand. 



"/^Chloropsis aurifrons inornatus. 

 Kloss, Ibis, 1918, p. 198. 



Mr. Herbert's specimens confirm Mr. Kloss's diagnosis of 

 his new form. 



"^ Pycnonotus blanfordi robinsoni. 



Grant, Fasc. Mai. Zool. iii. 1905, p. 85. 

 I cannot distinguish between P. b. blanfordi and P. b. 

 robinsoni as 1 find it possible to get a good series of the 

 typical blanfordi from the extreme south, and, vice versa, 

 an equally good series of the so-called P. b. robinsoni from 

 northern Burma, 



fPrinia inornata blanfordi. 

 Kloss, Ibis, 1918, p. 211. 

 Mr. Kloss has made the same mistake as I did when 

 naming some birds collected by Mr. Williamson. His 

 specimens, like Mr. Williamson's, are, of course, my new 

 subspecies P. i. herberti.
