Measurements of type :—Wing, 94, tail, 105 ; bill from gape, 
26; tarsus, 33 mm. JType:—Adult male from Sodong Gerok, 
Idjen Massif, 3,900 feet, near Banjoewangi, Eastern Java, 
April Ist, 1916. Very, large series examined from the same 
vicinity from 1,400 feet to 5,000 feet. 
Remarks :—Hartert, in a paper on birds from the Ardjuno 
has already noticed the differences in the superciliary streak 
(Nov. Zool. 111, p. 539 (1896), while a reference to Horsfield’s 
original description and Plate (Zool. Res. Java (1824) of 
P. montanus show these characters as strongly marked. Hors- 
field’s specimens came from Merbabu in Central and Prahu in 
West Central Java, while my own material, consisting of over 
twenty skins, is from the Gedeh in Western Java. Under these 
circumstances I consider that the eastern form is perfectly 
entitled to subspecific recognition, though in a considerable 
number of specimens traces of white are discernible in the 
loral region. 
STACHYRIS ORIENTALIS, sp. nov. 
Separable at a glance from St. thoracsca (Temm.) from 
Western Java, (eight specimens examined), in having the 
whole head and hind neck slaty black, clearly differentiated 
from the mantle. Rest of the upper surface of a more 
ochraceous rufescent, less chestnut tinge. Beneath, the white 
pectoral collar forms a regular gorget and is not encroached 
upon in the middle of the throat by the black of the chin and 
neck, as in the western form. White gorget bordered beneath 
by a black band broadest on the sides of the breast, this band 
being entirely absent in St. thoracica. 
Wing, 82; tail, 79; bill from gape, 25; tarsus, 31 mm. 
Type:—Adult male from Sodong Jerok, Idjen Massif, 
3,900 feet, near Banjoewangi, East Java, on March 28th, 1916. 
Thirteen specimens examined. 
STACHYRIDOPSIS MELANOTHORAX INTERMEDIA, subsp. nov. 
Intermediate between St. m. melanothoraxt (Yemm.} 
from Western Java and St. m. baliensis (Hartert)? from Java. 
Differs from the former in having the middle of the breast 
sandy buff, uniform with the flanks, not white, and from the 
latter in having the chin and throat pure white, only very 
faintly tinged with buff. Outer webs of the primaries, deci- 
dedly richer brown than the back but not nearly so bright as 
the wing coverts. 
Adult female (type) :—Wing, 60; tail, 60; bill from gape, 
19.5; tarsus, 23 mm.
