XXVI. FOUR NEW BIRDS FROM JAVA. 
By H. C. Ropinson, C.M.Z.S. 
DENDROBIASTES HYPERYTHRA VULCANI, subsp. nov. 
Adult male:—Very close to D. ry. malayana, ' Ogilvie 
Grant!, from the mountains of the Malay Peninsula and 
from Sumatra but differing in having the throat and breast 
somewhat paler, more yellowish orange, less rufescent, the 
fulvous wash on the flanks distinctly lighter and the middle 
of the abdomen whiter. “Iris dark, bill black, feet slaty 
purplish.” 
Adult female :—\he upper surface more olivaceous than in 
the corresponding sex of D. h. malayana, the throat and 
middle of the abdomen whiter and the pectoral band and the 
flanks light yellowish fulvous brown, not rufescent brown. 
“Tris dark, bill black, feet light pinkish grey.” 
Dimensions (taken in the flesh). Male: Total length, 113; 
wing, 59; tail, 46; tarsus, 18; bill from gape, 15 mm. 
Female :—Total length, 113; wing, 59; tail, 47; tarsus, 
18; bill from gape, 14 mm. 
Types: —Collected at Tyjibodas, slopes of the Gedeh 
Volcano, 4-6,000 feet, Western Java, on 14th and 15th February, 
TOKOn ge Now2413. 9 No. 2365. 
Specimens examined :—Twenty-one, from the slopes of the 
Gedeh, at altitudes from 4,000 to 8,500 feet. 
Six males from the Idjen Volcano, near Banjoewang, 
Eastern Java, are perhaps even paler and brighter beneath, 
while a single female, which we have to associate with the males, 
differs very markedly in having almost the whole of the under- 
surface pale buffy yellow, the throat and chin being quite 
concolorous with the breast. In the absence of further female 
specimens and of examples from BalilI prefer not to describe it. 
POMATORHINUS MONTANUS OTTOLANDERI, subsp. nov. 
Adult :—Differing from the typical P. m. montanus of the 
mountains of Central and Western Java in having the white 
superciliary streak not continued past the eye to the base of 
the bill as is invariably the case in the western race. General 
colour of back, mantle and flanks rather more chestnut and 
less ochraceous rufous than in the western form, though this 
character is only noticeable when large series of each race are 
compared.
