Colloccdia francica germaini Obeiholser, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. 

 Philadelphia, 1906, p. 201. 



1 cT, 4 9. " Iris dark brown, bill black, feet pale fleshy." 

 Total length, c? 115; 9 119, 121, 120; 120. Wing, d 1 108; 9 123, 

 123, 119, 116 mm. 



With these fresh topotypes in hand we fancied we could keep 



apart from them birds representative of those to which Hartert 



gave the name merguiensis, on account of the less greenish gloss in 



the latter, which appeared to us to have the uppar parts more 



brownish owing to the gloss being purplish. On submitting 



specimens to Dr. Hartert, however (who has himself withdrawn 



merguiensis, vide Oberholser, supra), he wrote us that he could 



still admit no differences. We must, therefore, disregard our own 



opinion. 



-f» 6. Cypselus pacificus pacificus. 



Hirundo pacijica, L:ith., Ind. Orn. Suppl., 1801, p. 58 (New South 



Wales). 

 Micropus pacificus, Hartert, Cat. Birds Brit. Mus. xvi, 1892, 



p. 448. 

 Id, 29. "Iris dark brown, bill black, feet pale flesh." 

 Total length, d 192; 9 194, 196. Wing, 6 189; 9 188, 186 mm. 



These birds slightly exceed the maximum given by Hartert 

 for the species, viz,, wing 184.5 mm., but cannot be separated from 

 the typical form. 



■4-7. Rhopodytes tristis longicaudatus. 



Phoenicophceus longicaudatus Blj'th, Joutn. Asiat. Soc. Bengal, X, 



1841, p. 923 (Tenasserim). 

 Rhopodytes tristis hainanus Hartert, Nov. Zool. XVII, 1910, p. 218 

 (Hainan) ; Robinson &, Khis*, Ibis, 1919, p. 427 (Cochin-China 

 and South Annam). 

 3 d, 1 9. " Iris reddish brown, bill green, feet pale blue " (?), 

 Total length, 6 545, 470, 520 ; 9 509. Wing, 6 159, 150, 160; 

 9 155 mm. 



These birds agree in size and colour with Tenasserim speci- 

 mens : Hainan birds also agree in size with Blyth's overlooked 

 race. Topotypical examples vary a little : some being paler below
