There is certainly no tangible difference in the dimensions, 
those of three very adult birds from the Gedeh being :— 
Total length, 285, 277, 277 mm. Wing, 143, 142, 141. 
Tail, 108, 108, 107. Tarsus, 35, 35, 37- Bill from gape, 37, 
36, 35. 
In the Javan birds the 3rd, 4th and 5th primaries are 
subequal and longest, and the 2nd primary is slightly longer 
than the 6th. 
This thrush is an interesting addition to the Fauna of 
Sumatra, emphasizing its direct connection with Java and the 
Tenasserim mountains. The genus is absent from Borneo.

Turdus indrapurae, Robinson & Kloss, Journ. Straits 
Branch Roy. Asiat. Soc. No. 73, p. 277 (1916). 
Very closely allied to Turdus fumidus, S. Mill. from the 
Gedeh, West Java, but distinguished by having the general 
colour of the upper parts and of the throat and upper breast 
dark earthy brown, distinctly paler on the cap, whereas in 
T. fumidus the mantle is dark bronzy grey, tinged with olivac- 
eous, with the cap blackish, distinctly darker than the rest of the 
upper parts. Belly and flanks earthy chestnut, richer in tint 
than the corresponding parts of T. fumidus, centre of belly and 
anal patch whitish, under tail coverts blackish brown, with 
narrow shaft stripes white, tinged with buff, these shaft stripes 
being narrower than in T. fumzdus but broadening to the tip. 
Total length (measured in flesh). Male: 242; wing, 1223 
tail, 110; tarsus, 32; bill from gape, 25. 
Female: Total length, 242; wing, 122; tail, 103; tarsus, 
30; bill from gape, 27 mm. 
Types. Male. Collected on Korinchi Peak, 10,000 feet. 
April 27th, 1914. [No. 1196.] 
Female. Collected on Korinchi Peak, 10,000 feet. April 
2oth, 1914. [No. 1274. | 
The majority of the large series collected have the top of 
the head ashy grey so that the species appears very markedly 
capped. This is, however, in the main due to the effect of 
wear. The large majority of the specimens are in very worn 
plumage, but where new feathers are appearing on the head 
these are but little lighter than those of the mantle. 
The differences between the two forms are difficult to put 
into words but are appreciable at a glance in the series before 
us of over 2g Sumatran skins and a series of sixteen topotypes 
of T. fumidus. On the whole the present form would appear 
to be intermediate between T. fumidus and T. seebohmi of Kina 
Balu, which is, however, a very much darker bird.
