supra), not TLurdus]. gularis Latham, 1801. 
Range.—Western and central Java. 
Remarks.—Since two forms of the species are known from Java, 
it is important to know which one is represented by Lesson’s type 
specimen. Bélanger (Voyage, pp. Xxix-xxx) says: “. . . j’entrepris, 
. un nouveau voyage aux iles de la Sonde. Le détroit de ce nom, 
une partie de la cote orientale de Java, les districts de Bantam et de 
Buitenzorg dans cette ile, furent les lieux principaux soumis a mes 
recherches.” In short, Bélanger’s collections were made within the 
ranges of both races. 
It is no longer possible to solve the problem by examination of 
Bélanger’s material. In reply to my query, Professor Berlioz has 
written: “I am sorry to say definitely that we do not possess this type 
of Lesson nor any bird which might be eventually considered as such. 
In fact there are extremely few birds here originated in Bélanger’s 
travel—and in very bad condition—and if ever this bird came to our 
Museum it is not impossible that it would have been destroyed, as 
there is no trace of it even in our old register.” 2 
In the circumstances, I am justified in fixing a type locality for 
Lesson’s bres, and have chosen Bogor (Buitenzorg) as a place visited 
by Bélanger and one at which commonly occur birds clearly assignable 
to the more western race.
