rest of the Peninsular birds must be called C. e. pyrrhophaea (S.qx\A., 

 Rev. Zool. 1844, p. 402 : Malacca and Sumatra). 



We are rather at a loss to understand what Mr. Baker takes 

 C. e. erythroptera to he, eyidiQ,i\y : because in Ibis, 1918, p. 594, he 

 tells us that " specimens of Java and Sumatra seem to be one and the 

 same " and C. erythroptera is not known from Java.

 Mixornis rubricajjilla jjileata, M. 2, p. 274 (partim : South Malay 



Peninsula). 



This Malayan form extends northwards into Patani where,

 This race has much darker, more rufous, upper jDarts, wings and tail ; 

 and more heavily striped throat and breast than the next.
