1922.] Remarks on Mr. Baker’s new volume on Birds. 565 
Criniger ochraceus ochraceus. 
Criniger ochraceus Moore, in Horsfield and Moore. (Cat 
Birds Mas. E. Ind. I, 1854, p. 252, Tenasserim). 
p. 365. The wing measurements of 100-115 mm. were given 
by Oustalet for Criniger henrici not for C. pallida. 
p. 368. Alophoixus phaeocephalus should stand as Alophoixus 
phaeocephalus phaeocephalus as there is a Bornean race 
Alophoixus pheeocephalus diardi (Finsch). Delete Java 
from the distribution. 
p. 3 4-379. The :genus Hemixus must be replaced by Ixos 
Temminck, 1825. (Type Ios virescens Temm., Pl. Col., 
No. 382, fig. I, livr. 64: Java.) Oberholser has shown 
(Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia, 1899, p. 212) that the 
genus is properly characterised and cannot be disregarded 
as was done by Sharpe (Cat. Birds Brit. Mus. VI, 
pp. 120, ee 
p.379. The statement regarding the genus Alcurus is in- 
correct. It contains not only A. striatus, but also 
_ A. leucogrammicus (8. Mill.) of Sumatra. 
p- 381. Robinson and Kloss have never expressed any joint 
opinion on forms of Molplastes. Mr. Baker is probably 
referring to Robinson’s Ms. notes in the Natural History 
Museum. : 
p. 382. Molplastes chrysorrhoides klossi is not of Robinson, 
but of Gyldenstolpe ; and the latter has already corrected 
(in Bull. B. O.C. XLII, 1921) Mr. Baker’s own and original 
error. Cee: 
p. 386. Molplastes haemorrhous nigripileus. No description is 
given. ; d 
p- 392. Genus Xanthixus. For Kloss read Robinson an 
Kloss. 
Xanthixus flavescens. On this species see the note at 
the end of this review. ; : 
p 396,7. To the distribution of Otocompsa emeria peguensts 
should be added the Malay Peninsula. No type or ty pical 
locality are given for this new subspecies. 
p. 402. Trachycomus ochrocephalus must stand as :— 
Trachycomus zeylanicus. | 
Sturnus zeylanicus. Gmelin, Syst. Nat. 1, 1788, p. 804 
(Java). 
} i lonese 
Sturnus zeylanicus, Gm. (I.c.) is based on the Cey 
“Starling” of Latham (Syn. II, pt. 1, 1783, ) 
as page priority over 7'urdus ochrocephalus. - att 
p. 821) based on the “ Yellow-crowned Thrush” of bro 
(HIT, p. 50, t. 22). 
p 404. In our opinion Hypsipetes malaccensis Blyth is better 
included in Ixos (Hemizxus) than in ole.
