distingnenda." Whitehead tells us that he collected it about 5500 feet high on the 

 spurs of Bromo, an active volcano in Eastern Java. Had I not been able, thanks 

 to the trouble Mr. Grant took for me, to see the types in the Seebohm collection, 

 I could certainly not have known whether my birds were the same as Z. neglecta or 

 not, but after having seen them I find that they are the same species, though the types 

 are in worn plumage and not very old. They are greenish above, like Z. palpebrosa ; 

 rump and upper tail-coverts lighter and more yellow. In front of the eyes is a 

 distinct yellow spot, and from the base of the bill to the eye a black line. Chin 

 and throat yellow, more golden on the upper throat. Abdomen and flanks very 

 pale brownish, lighter and with an indistinct yellow line in the middle. Under 

 tail-coverts pale yellow. Wing 57 58 mm.; tail 41 42 ; tarsus 16; culmen 13. 



11. Pycnonotus bimaculatus (Horsf.). 

 At 8000 and 9000 feet elevation. 



12. Dicrurus cineraceus (Horsf.). 



One from 3000 and one from between 9000 and 10,000 feet. 



Gates in Fauna Brit. Ind., Birds, I. p. 318, says that this species occurs 

 from the Brahmaputra to Northern Tenasserim, that it " reappears " in Java, 

 Lombok, and Palawan, and that it is " not found " in any portion of the Malay 

 Peninsula. This statement may be, I am afraid, premature, as our knowledge 

 of the ornis of the Malay Peninsula is not yet sufficient for such theories. The 

 Tring Museum possesses one skin, collected by Col. Bingham in the Thoungyeen 

 Valley, which seems to agree with our typical Java birds. 



13. Dissemurus platurus (Vieill.). 



At 3000 feet. The racquets are distinctly twisted, and it is in my opinion 

 impossible to unite this bird with the large Indian form, but it seems next to 

 hopeless to clear up the synonymy of these forms. The present form may perhaps 

 with more safety be called I), formosus Cab. Cf. Sharpe, Cat. B. Brit. Mus. III. 

 p. 258 ; Hart., NOVIT. ZOOL. I. p. 476, etc. 



14. Pericrocotus miniatus (Temm.). 

 One young male at 5oOO feet. 



15. Graucalus larvatus (S. MtilL). 



Between 9000 and 10,000 feet. Both sexes. Sharpe's description of his 

 supposed male in Cat. B. VI. p. 11, is that of a young male or a female, and the 

 sexes are not alike, the male having the whole throat black, the female not 

 (Hartert, Ornis, 1891). 



16. Tephrodornis virgatus Sw. 

 3000 feet. 



17. Stoparola indigo (Horsf.). 

 c?, 3000 feet. 



18. Muscicapula westermanni Sharpe. 

 Between 9000 and 10,000 feet.
