19. Rhipidura euryura S. Mull. 



At 3000 feet (Biittik., Notes Ley den Mas. XV. p. 91). Genus Neomyias 

 Sharpe, Cat. B. Brit. Mus. IV. p. 342. 



20. Collocalia linchi Horsf. & Moore. 

 At 8000 feet. 



21. Gecinus puniceus (Horsf.). 



At 3000 feet. Hargitt, Cat. B. Brit. Mus. XVIII. p. 65, has remarked that 

 specimens from the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, and Borneo have "the orbital 

 region less dusky and the sides of the face and neck of a paler green." This I find 

 not only to be true, but in addition to it I find that the back is more of a yellowish 

 green, and the rump much more golden. I therefore think the Java form must be 

 separated as Gecinus puniceus typicus, while the birds from Malacca, Borneo, and 

 Sumatra (type) may be called 



Gecinus puniceus observandus subsp. nov. 



22. Chotorhea javensis (Horsf.). 

 3000 feet. 



23. Cyanops armillaris (Temm.). 



3000 feet. These two barbets are named in this way in the Catalogue of Birds 

 (Vol. XIX., Shelley), but I do not consider this generic separation useful or convenient, 

 nor is there sufficient reason for it, I believe. 



24. Ptilinopus porphyreus (Temm.). 



1824. Columba porphyrea " Reinw." in Temm., PL Col. 106. 



1827. C. roseicollis Wagl., Syst. Av. Columba, No. 27. 



Mount Arjuno, 3000 teet. 



In Cat. B. Brit. Mus. XXI. p. 75, Count Salvadori rejected the name porphyrea 

 on account of there being a Columba porphyracea " Forst." published in 1821 ; but 

 the two names are different enough, I think, to avoid confusion. 



III. LIST OF THE BIRDS OF BALI. 



Doherty writes from Bali, March 12th : " Last night we arrived here from 

 Sumba in a thoroughly exhausted state, partly from hard work under unusually 

 hard conditions, and partly from a storm, the most tremendous I have ever weathered, 

 which made it very difficult for us to get away from Sumba, owing to the surf, and 

 which pursued us almost through Lombok Straits." In April he writes, amongst 

 other things : " I thought Bali would be a great success, and a nice, pleasant, easy 

 place, where we would all get strong. Instead of that, we never have had such 

 constant and varied sickness. Travelling was difficult and dear, and there was no 

 food to be bought. The people hate us all, I think, and in my whole stay I suc- 

 ceeded in buying jnst two ducks and five young chickens. The ducks cover the 

 land, you know queer things that-jwalk quite- upright. Both Ram Persad and I 

 on different occasions met tigers face to face. There were hardly any butterflies,
