 " Iris hazel, lappets rich chrome, anterior greenish at 

 base, bill orange, yellow at tip, tarsi rich chrome." 



The specimen from Pulau Lontar shows an approach to 

 G.j. intermedia in its smaller size, wing 167 against 182 in the 

 Dayang Bunting bird, but the postocular space is entirely 

 separated from the lappets by a patch of feathers, while the bill 

 is not nearly so small as in true intermedia. It is possible 

 that the Hainan and Eastern Siamese birds should after all be 

 separated also, as Gracula javana hainanus (Swinh.), as Hartert 

 seems inclined to do (Nov. Zool. xvii, p. 251 (1910). In these 

 the general size is strikingly smaller, especially in the bill, and 

 the lappets are also apparently considerably diminished. 



This Mynah was very common on all the islands, especially 

 on Terutau.

 " Iris carmine, bill and feet black." 



It is unfortunate that the name strigatus applied to the 

 immature bird by Horslield, but which is printed earlier in the 

 same page should have to replace the more familiar chalybea. 



Stresemann is probably correct in regarding all the forms 

 of the genus occurring in the Oriental region as merely of 

 subspecific value and basing them on the first decribed, viz.
