The birds of the Malay Peninsula have both the larger 

 wing and longer bill ranges of macrorhynchus and must, 

 I think, be placed under that name, for as regards the forms 

 of the bill the ditferences stated by Dr. Stresemann do not 

 seem to hold : I find both shapes in the Malayan series 

 and of the three Javan birds one has the bill higher at the 

 nostrils than at the base, while in the other two, the height 

 at both places is the same. 



My conclusions are therefore that a form of the species 

 (^.oruHs coronoides occurs throughout the whole of the 

 Malay Peninsula where it is much commoner than the 

 species Corvns enca ; and that south of Tenasserim (say 

 Lat. 11° N.) it is Corvus coronoides macrorhynchus Wagl. 



CORVUS ENCA. 



Six specimens have been obtained during the same 

 period and in the same area as the 26 examples of 

 C. coronoides recorded above : the apparant occurrence is 

 therefore, only one to foui\ The detail? are : —
