known to be more circumscribed than formerly supposed, and the 

 form from northeast Borneo and the form from west Java will hardly 

 prove to be the same.

21. YUNGIPICUS MOLUCCENSIS TANTULUS Riley 



Yuiiglpicus moluccensis tantulus Riley, Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, vol. 40, 

 1927, p. 140 (Tangguroeng, Mahakkam River, N. E. Borneo). 



One male and one female, Pulo Pandjang. May 2 and 3; one 

 female, Pulo Eraban, June 12. 



Hargitt ^^ has shown that the name of this species should be Tun- 

 ^ipicus moluccensis (Gmelin) and that the type locality is prob- 

 ably Java. Two males and a female before me from Java are 

 darker above than the Bornean birds listed above; the Javan speci- 

 mens have the nasal plumes and a loreal streak creamy white, while 

 in the Bornean specimens the loreal streak is much reduced and the 

 nasal plumes are the color of the forehead; the upper tail coverts 

 in the Bornean birds are less heavily barred, and they average 

 smaller, A male in the collection from the Mahakkam River, north- 

 east Borneo, does not appear to differ from the three from the 

 islands off the coast. The female of this species seems to be as large 

 or larger than the males. 



Two males and one female from Java, measure: Wing, 73-75 

 (74.3); culmen, 13-14.5 (13.8). 



Two males and two females from northeast Borneo and islands 

 off coast, measure: Wing, 66.5-74 (69.7) ; culmen, 12-14.5 (13).
