'Ibis' for tliis rear (1892, pp. 99-103), from the Pahang 

 country in the Malayan Peninsula. j\Ir. Davison bad very 

 kindly submitted these specimens to Dr. Sharpe, who reported 

 as follows : — 



" Campojjhaga minor, Davison, t. c. p. 99 = LaIa(/e culminata 

 of my 'Catalogue of Birds in Brit. Mus.' (iv. p. 104). Mr. 

 Oates considers that C. culmbiata should be placed in the 

 genus Cau/jjojjJtaffa {cf. Faun. Brit. Ind., Birds, i. p. 493). 



" Gary gone pectoralis, Davison, t. c. p. 99 =G. modiglia^iii, 

 Salvad. Ann. Mus. Gen. (2) xii. p. 71 (1891, Sumatra). 



"This is a perfectly good species, and ]Mr, Davison recog- 

 nized its peculiar character, viz. the dusky horseshoe on 

 the sides of the fore neck — a point equally insisted on by 

 Count Salvadori. The name given by the latter gentleman 

 has a slight priority, for it bears the date of the 23rd of 

 December, 1891, while Mr. Davison's name appeared on the 

 1st of January; 1892. 



" Ptilocichla hucogastra, Davison, t. c. p. \00=Ti'ichostoma 



- rostratum, Blyth [cf. Sharpe, Cat. B. vii. p. 562). 



" I have compared Mr. Davison's type with our series in the 



British Museum, and there is no question as to its being 



identical with the above-named, species. 



" The type of his Malacopterum melanocephalum was not 

 sent by Mr. Davison, but the type of Acridotheres torquatus 

 [t. c. p. 102), which I exhibit, shows that the species is 

 a very distinct one, characterized at once by the broad grey 

 band on the fore neck, separating the pinkish isabelline of 

 the throat from the isabelline of the chest and underparts. 

 It belongs to my subgenus JEihiopsa?', and must be called 

 ^JEthiopsar torquatus." 



Mr. Davison had also sent a Stachyris from Pahang, 

 which was apparently new to science. Dr. Sharpe proposed 

 to call it 



Stachyris davisoxi, sp. n. 

 Similis S. borneensi, rostro nigro, facie laterali et regione 

 parotica pallide ochrascentibus, pectori concoloribus dis- 

 tinguenda. Long. tot. 5*5, alse 2'25.
