of Tinialiidse ; Eupetcs, a most remarkable form, perhaps allied 

 to Enicurus, and Cinches ; Ehahdornis (Certliiidas) found only in 

 the Philippines; Psaltria, a diminutive bird of doubtful affiuities, 

 provisionally classed among the tits (Paridse); Setornis{^ycnoi\(i- 

 tida-) ; Lalagc (Campepliagida^) extending eastward to the Pacific 

 Islands ; Pycnos-phrys, Philentoma (Muscicapidffi) ; Laniellus, 

 a beautiful bird doubtfully classed with the shrikes (Laniidte); 

 Plafylophus and Pityriasis, the latter a most anomalous form — 

 perhaps a distinct family, at present classed with the jays, in 

 Corvidse ; Prionochilus, a curious form classed with DicaiidaB ; 

 Erytlirura (Ploceidce), extending eastwards to the Fiji Islands ; 

 Oymnoiis, Calornis, (Sturnidie); Eitrylwmus, Cory don, and Ccdy}!- 

 Ttomcna (Eurylajmidae) ; Eucichla, the longest tailed and most 

 elegantly marked of the Pittid;ie ; Peiiuvardtijncus and Mighjptcs 

 (Picidffi) ; Psilojyogon and Calorhamphus, (Megalremidte) ; Ehino- 

 coccyx, Dasylophus, Lepidogrammus, Carpococcyx, Zanclostomus, 

 Foliococcyx, Ehinortha, (Cuculid?e) ; Ecrenicornis, Caldo, Cranor- 

 liinus, Pcnclopides, Rhinoplax, (Bucerotidaj) ; Psittinus, (Psitta- 

 cida) ; Ptiloims, Pluipitreron, (Columbida') ; Eollidus, (Trero- 

 nida) ; Machccrhamplms, (Falconida). Many of these genera are 

 abundant and wide-spread, while some of the most characteristic 

 Himalayan genera, such as Larvivora, Garrulax, Hyinipdes, 

 PoiiKdorhinus, and Dcndrocitta, are here represented by only 

 a few species. 



Among the groups that are characteristic of the Malayan 

 sub-region, theTimaliidre and Pycnonotida- stand pre-emiuent; the 

 former represented chiefly by the genera Timalia, Malacopteron, 

 Macronus, and Trichastoma, the latter by Crinigcr, Microscelis, 

 and many forms of Pycnonotus. The Muscicapidte, Dicruridse, 

 Campephagidffi, Ploceid?e, and Nectariniidae are also well 

 developed ; as well as the Pittidse, and the Eurylfemidte, the 

 limited number of species of the latter being compensated by 

 a tolerable abundance of individuals. Among the Picari« are 

 many conspicuous groups ; as, woodpeckers (Picidffi) ; barbets 

 (Megalannida,)^, trogons (Trogonidee) ; kingfishers (Alcedinidse) ; 

 and hornbills (Bucerotida) ; five families Mdiich are perhaps the 

 most consnicuous in the whole fauna. Lastly come the pigeons
