Comparison of the above series with a series of six speci- 
mens from the Gedeh, Western Java, the typical locality of 
the species, discloses differences sufficient to warrant subspeci- 
fic separation. 
Specimens from both Java and Sumatra are extremely 
rare in European Collections and while Sharpe (loc. cit.) 
regards a specimen in the Leyden Museum marked as from 
Sumatra as the type, Dr. Hartert claims that the first locality 
mentioned by Temminck, viz. Java, whence there is an 
authentic specimen in the Liverpool Museum, must be regard- 
ed as the typical locality. We have, therefore, named the 
Sumatran form 
TURDINULUS EPILEPIDOTA subsp. DILUTUS. 
differing from T. efilepidota typicus from Java, in being 
- considerably lighter (less blackish) above, and in having the 
feathers of the throat more decidedly tipped with black, those 
of the Javan form being almost immaculate in the centre of 
the throat. Dimensions slightly different from those of the 
Javan race, the tail and tarsus being slightly longer, and the 
bill decidedly shorter. 
Sexes practically identical, the only noticeable differences 
being that the females have the white tips of the primary 
and secondary wing coverts smaller and more sullied than 
those of the male. The numbers of females available are, 
however, somewhat limited. 
Specimens examined ; fourteen adults from Sumatra and six 
adults from Western Java. 
Type of the subspecies. Adult male, Sungei Kumbang, 
Korinchi, West Sumatra, collected on 13th April, 1914, by 
H. C. Robinson and C. Boden Kloss, Collector’s No. 862.
