with Oi'iolidie, as used to be imagined. From one of the 

 AVatiiuji; drawings Latham named a bird the Maxillary 

 Thrush, but ^Ir. Mathews has shown in the ' Austral Avian 

 Record' that Sphecothcres vieilloti is the correct name of 

 the commoner Fig-bird, and that maxillaris does not apply. 

 A second species continues as jiaviventris , for Latham's 

 viellnus is not accepted by the author. 

 There are no new subspecies in this part.

The first of the i)apers cited contains descriptions of nine 

 new subspecies from various localities in Farther India. 



In tlie second paper Air. Kloss discusses the correct name 

 of the Black Drongo, generally known as Dicrunts ater 

 (Hermann), but the name is preoccupied and must give 

 way to D. microcercus Vieillot. The type-locality must be, 

 according to Mr. Kloss, Peninsular India, and seven sub- 

 species are recogniztd. Two of these are new — D. m. thai 

 from T^enasserim and Siam and D. m. javanus from Java. 

 A review of the liuby-Cheeks {CImlcoparia singalensis) 

 follows. There are six recognizable races, two of which — 

 C. s. suinatrana and C. s. borneana — are new, from Sumatra 

 and Borneo respectively. 



In the third contribution there are discussions on the 

 races of the Oriental species of Halcyon, the subspecies 

 of Chibia hottentotta. and on Malaysian Crows, and there 

 are remarks on many other disputed points and descriptions 

 of various new races.
