“Tris hazel, lappets rich chrome, anterior greenish at 
base, bill orange, yellow at tip, tarsi rich chrome.” 
The specimen from Pulau Lontar shows an approach to 
G. j. intermedia in its smaller size, wing 167 against 182 in the 
Dayang Bunting bird, but the postocular space is entirely 
separated from the lappets by a patch of feathers, while the bill 
is not nearly so small as in true intermedia. It is possible 
that the Hainan and Eastern Siamese birds should after all be 
separated also, as Gracula javana hainanus (Swinh.), as Hartert 
seems inclined to do (Nov. Zool. xvii, p. 251 (1910). In these 
the general size is strikingly smaller, especially in the bill, and 
the lappets are also apparently considerably diminished. 
This Mynah was very common on all the islands, especially 
on Terutau.

“Tris carmine, bill and feet black.” 
It is unfortunate that the name strigatus applied to the 
immature bird by Horsfield, but which is printed earlier in the 
same page should have to replace the more familiar chalybea. 
Stresemann is probably correct in regarding all the forms 
of the genus occurring in the Oriental region as merely of 
subspecific value and basing them on the first decribed, viz.
