they become A. japonica, Bp. To the southward they are found in Bengal, Burma, 
and Cochin China. In the Malaccan peninsula they bear the title of A. malaccensis, 
Eyton, in the Andamans, NV. affinis, Tytler; while of the Indo-Malayan Islands, 
Sumatra contains the type of S. scutulata, Raffles; Borneo, A. borneensis, Bp.; and 
the Philippines, WV. philippensis, Bp. (Compt. Rend. xli. p. 655, 1855). A skeleton in 
the Leyden Museum is our only evidence of Jaya possessing a species of this group, to 
which A. florensis, Wallace, ex Flores, appears also to belong. The Madagascar N. 
madagascariensis, Bp., so closely resembles the Indian Ninov, that Dr. Hartlaub 
(Faun. Madagasc.) considers that it can hardly be separated as even a local race 
(conf. J. H. Gurney, Ibis, 1869, p. 453). Enough has been said to show that all the 
local varieties have yet to be rigidly compared with one another before the exact title 
of the Celebean Minow can be absolutely determined.

The affinities of this interesting species are nearer to MV. pulverulentus (Tem.) than to 
the group of large black-and-white species represented by P. javensis. Malherbe (Ee) 
erroneously referred P. fulvigaster, Drap. (Dict. Sc. Nat. viii. p. 621, ex Java), to this 
species, instead of to P. javensis, 3, Horsf. (1822), =P. horsfieldii, 3, Wagler (1827),
