(Vol. III. p. 45), Dr. Elliot has made the following 

 errors : — 



(1) He has indir-ated as the type locality Bankasun in 

 Tenasserim, whence a specimen was forwarded in 1877 by 

 Davidson, forty-seven years after the species was first 

 named. 



(2) On the strength o£ Hose's field-notes *, describing the 

 Bornean form as P. femoralis and not as P. chrysomelas (of 

 which name Hose was apparently ignorant), he has added 

 the locality Borneo to the range, and, while follow^ing 

 Schlegel's identification of P. femoralis wath the latter's own 

 P. sumatrana (Vol. III. p. 43), he has stated that these 

 representative forms occur on the same mountain, which is, 

 to say the least, highly improbable (pp. 28 and 29). 



But, since in a " Key to the Species " (p. 30) it is stated 

 that P. femoralis has the " tail white at base beneatli,'' while 

 on page 46 we are told that " The tail, however, is never 

 whitish at the base beneath,^' one may say, without un- 

 fairness, that Dr. Elliot cannot recognize his material nor 

 the species to which he ascribes it. 



In 1911 we described as P. n. keatii a race of P. neglect a 

 from Trang, North Malay Peninsula, founding it on three 

 specimens from the type locality and three from Perak, 

 while several others from northern parts of the Peninsula 

 have since been obtained. Dr. Elliot has seen fit, without 

 examination of the specimens, to state that our type is a 

 young adult, though it was specifically stated to be au 

 adult male. After examination of a considerable series from 

 all parts of the Peninsula, from Singapore to Bandon, we 

 are in a position to state definitely that the northern form 

 differs in the characters stated from the southern, although, 

 of course, as is necessarily the case in a species inhabiting 

 a continuous land-area, some gradation takes place. We 

 are not aware that Dr. Elliot has examined more than tlie 

 series of specimens extant in the British Museum, which 

 have also passed through the hands of one of us and arc 

 either ohl and deteriorated or badly prepared skins. 



Pyyathrix Jlavicauda (Vol. III. p. 50), of which, thanks to 

 the kindness of the authorities of the United States National 

 Museum, we have examined one of tlie tyijical specimens 

 from Trang, is apparently based on a somewhat young 

 specimen of Pyuuthrix obscura halonifer ((.antor), which 

 was originally described from Penang. We have other 

 adult specimens from Trang, and they can in no way be
