OF THE MALAY PENINSULA. SECOND NOTICE. 163 



Jardine, in his description, fails to notice the white marks on the 

 tips of the three outer tail feathers, and that the tail is so turn- 

 ed that these are not seen in the plate. I do not, however, 

 think that any one who compares the plate and description with 

 a good series of tristis will doubt that euptilosus equals tonstis. 

 The former dates from 1836, the latter from 1865, and the 

 species should, therefore, now stand, I think, as 451 quint — 

 Criniger euptilosus, Jard. and Selb., and this will remove one of 

 the doubtful species from our list. 



452 oct A. — Ixiis finschi, Salvad. 



This name ought not to have been printed in italics in the 

 first list, since, so far as we know, this species occurs nowhere 

 within the British dominions except in the Malay Peninsula. 



This species is colored above precisely like Ixus brunneus, but n ^ ' /r " 



it is a rather smaller bird. The bill is smaller, the throat and j i—r- -- 



abdomen are much whiter and much less brown, and whereas -^-^^ y-f^KA-vJh- 

 the wing-lining underneath the shoulder of the wing is a sort/- A^t^'t^Vw-J^-'^ 

 of brownish buff in hrunneus, it is in finscM a pale yellowish MjJlJbts^ H \ 



452 dec A. — lole olivacea_, Bly. 



In our list, ante p< 62, this is misprinted as Ixus olivaceus. 



463 his A. — Phyllornis icterocephalus, Less. 

 Wrongly printed in the list as 463 ter A. 



631 A. — Zoster ops auriventer, Hume. 



In Yol. VI., page 519, I noticed a specimen of a Zosterops 

 obtained near Tavoy, for which I proposed the name auriventer. 

 Afterwards I obtained five similar specimens from the Malay 

 Peninsula, and in Vol. VII., p. 452, I pointed out that Hartlaub 

 had described this species from specimens from Java and 

 Sumatra under Temminck^s manuscript name of lateralis, and 

 I therefore proposed the suppression of my name, and adopted 

 Temminck^s name. I now find that this latter had been long 

 pre-occupied by Latham for an Australian congener, and my 

 name of auriventer must, therefore, apparently stand for the 

 species. 



686. — Acridotheres fuscus, Wagl. 



I am still of opinion that if Cantor got a real A. fuscus, it 

 must have been a caged bird, but it has since occurred to me 

 that A. siamensis is very likely to occur in the Malay Penin- 

 sula.
