specimens from Java, and indeed of a very deep rufous colour, perhaps even deeper 

 than most of the Java birds. 



I have been inclined to consider G. rubecula as merely a subspecies of G. citrina, 

 but it can perhaps just as well stand as a species. G. innotata Blyth, from Burma, 

 on the other hand, seems to deserve not more than subspecific rank. Cf. Seebohm, 

 Cat. B. Brit. Mus. V. pp. 174 and 176; Hartert, Ornis, 1891 (p. 2 of article " Ueber 

 eine kleine Vogelsammlung," etc.). 



2. Pratincola caprata (L.). 



Both sexes from the low country, c? ad. " Iris deep umber ; bill and feet 

 black." $ . " Iris deep brown." 



3. Phylloseopns borealis (Bias.). 



These birds were still common in March in the low country. They are quite 

 typical, I think, but one of them is a perfect giant, with the wing fully 76 mm., 

 while i he other five skins have their wings only 64 to 72 mm. long, the larger ones 

 evidently being males. " Iris deep brown ; feet greenish olive." 



4. Copsychus saularis amoenus (Horsf.). 



Both sexes from the low country. An immature male from Bali, of this form, 

 was collected by Wallace, and is in the British Museum. The specimens from Bali 

 are pure amoenus, quite black below, except some white tips to the under tail- 

 coverts and a few white feathers on the sides of the vent. The three outer rectrices 

 are nearly quite white. " Iris dark brown." 



ft. Enicurus leschenaulti (Vieill.). 

 <?, 2000 to 3000 feet. " Iris very deep brown ; bill black ; feet pinkish white." 



6. Pomatorhinus montanus Horsf. 



Three skins, from 2000 to 3000 feet. They are exactly like those from Mount 

 Arjuno in East Java. See antea, p. 539. " Iris pale yellow; bill pale orange ; 

 culmen black near the base ; feet dark greenish." 



7. Turdinus (Trichostoma) sepiarius Horsf. 



2000 to 3000 feet. " Iris light red-brown ; feet dull slate-colour ; maxilla 

 blackish; mandible pale slaty grey with dark line below." 



8. Brachypteryx leucophrys (Temm.). 



An Q,dult female and a young male, between 2000 and 3000 feet. The young 

 bird has rusty spots to the centres of the feathers above, the feathers of the breast 

 rusty with dark margins. 



9. Cyanoderma melanothorax (Temm.). 



Myiothera m., Temm., PI. Col. II. pi. 185 ; Cyanoderma m., Sharpe in Notes 

 Ley den Museum VI. (1884) ; C. m., Vorderm. in Tydschrift Nederl. Tnd. 1885, p. 338. 



Two males of this rare bird were shot in Bali, one in the low country, one 

 between 2000 and 3000 feet. " Iris dark red-brown ; bill black above, bluish below ;
