65. Ceyx innominata Salvad. 



In the low country. <$ . " Iris dark brown ; bill and feet coral-red." ? . " Feet 

 pale orange ; maxilla dusky with orange tip." This female has the inner secondaries 

 somewhat darker and the wing 1-5 or 2 mm. shorter than the males from Bali. 

 I do not see signs of immaturity in any of them. 



66. Halcyon sanctus Vig. & Horsf. 

 Bali, low country. " Iris dark brown." 



67. Halcyon chloris (Bodd.). 

 Low country. Quite typical, though with rather much white on the occiput. 



68. Halcyon cyaniventris (Vieill.). 



A c?, shot in the low country. " Beak vermilion ; iris dull brown ; feet scarlet." 



69. Xantholaema australis (Horsf.). 



In the hills between 2000 and 3000 feet. " Iris dark brown ; feet greenish, 

 soles ochreous ; bill black." 



70. Xantholaema rosea (Dumont). 

 In the low country, not rare. " Iris dark brown ; bill black ; feet orange." 



71. Cyanops armillaris (Temm.). 



<? ? , shot at 2000 or 3000 feet. " Iris pale yellow ; feet greenish ; bill black." 

 These two birds have the forehead deeper orange than the three Java birds in 

 the Tring Museum, but it is doubtful whether this is a constant character or not. 



72. Cyanops lineata (Vieill.) typica. 



Not rare in the low country. " Iris pale brown ; skin round eyes bright 

 ochreous ; feet ochreous, soles whitish ; bill pale reddish corneous." 



73. Anthracoceros convexus (Temm.). 



Low country, c?. " Iris dull umber-brown ; feet slate-blue ; skin round eye 

 rather greenish ; beak yellowish horn-colour, forepart of casque rather darker 

 shaded." 



74. Cacomantis merulinus (Scop.) and C. threnodes Cab. & Heine. 



Both these forms, the pale and small C. merulinus, with the grey of the head 

 and throat distinctly separated, and the larger and darker C. threnodes of Cabanis 

 & Heine, from Bali, low country as well as 2000 to 3000 feet. Whether they are 

 the same species or not, or different stages, I cannot say ; but I must say that 

 the explanation given by Shelley on pp. 269, 270, of Vol. XIX. of the Cat. B. Brit. 

 Mus. i.e. that C. merulinus inhabits drier countries, while C. threnodes frequents 

 localities with a greater amount of rainfall is not satisfactory, as both are found 

 in the same places. I should not wonder if they turned out to be species after all.
