  Notes. 
  

  

  a 
  Baza 
  in 
  Luzon, 
  it 
  is 
  quite 
  possible 
  that 
  this 
  species 
  will 
  be 
  

   found 
  to 
  be 
  confined 
  to 
  that 
  island. 
  

  

  No. 
  103. 
  Baza 
  lophotes, 
  ^. 
  Malacca. 
  

  

  Then 
  follows 
  a 
  note 
  : 
  — 
  "Exchanged 
  with 
  Mr. 
  Gurncy, 
  of 
  

   Norwich, 
  15th 
  Dec. 
  1853." 
  

  

  No. 
  IGl. 
  Baza 
  lophotes, 
  ? 
  . 
  INIalacca. 
  

  

  ^riie 
  specimen 
  \Yliieh 
  bears 
  this 
  register 
  still 
  is 
  the 
  example 
  

   of 
  Baza 
  jcrdoni 
  which 
  did 
  duty 
  in 
  Gray's 
  'List' 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  

   ' 
  Catalogue 
  ' 
  for 
  the 
  youug 
  female 
  of 
  B. 
  magn'irostris. 
  

  

  In 
  this 
  same 
  list 
  one 
  specimen 
  of 
  B. 
  lophotes 
  from 
  Malacca 
  

   is 
  recorded, 
  but 
  it 
  is 
  quite 
  evident 
  that 
  there 
  were 
  tioo^ 
  

   because, 
  besides 
  the 
  one 
  given 
  to 
  ]Mr. 
  Gurncy 
  in 
  exchange, 
  

   there 
  was 
  another, 
  mounted 
  in 
  the 
  gallery 
  and 
  recorded 
  by 
  

   me 
  (Cat. 
  B. 
  i. 
  p. 
  353, 
  sp. 
  </), 
  and 
  this 
  specimen 
  is 
  in 
  the 
  

   Museum 
  still. 
  It 
  bore, 
  however, 
  no 
  register 
  number, 
  and 
  

   had 
  no 
  doubt 
  been 
  confused 
  by 
  Mr. 
  G. 
  E. 
  Gray 
  with 
  the 
  

   female 
  B.jerdon'i, 
  or 
  vice 
  versa. 
  

  

  The 
  synonymy 
  of 
  the 
  allied 
  species 
  will 
  thus 
  have 
  to 
  be 
  

   modified
