in their case would, in the present state of our knowledge, 
merely create confusion. 
It has been suggested to us that it would render the 
use of our list much easier to students who are not always 
acquainted with recent changes in nomenclature, or with 
recently described forms, if we were to give, in addition 
to the names we have used, those which are employed in the 
“Catalogue of Birds in the British Museum.” We have 
therefore inserted the names of the “Catalogue” in square 
brackets; but only in those instances where they differ 
from our specific or subspecific nomenclature: generic 
differences have been disregarded. When referring to the 
“Catalogue ”’ therefore, birds in our list should first be sought 
under the subspecific name given by us: if that is not 
found our species name should be looked for. 
Thus Crimiger ochraceus sumatranus will be found as 
Criniger sumatranus in the Catalogue and Stachyris maculata 
pectoralis as part of Stachyris maculata. 
This amended list comprises574 names against 527 in 
the earlier one. We hope that any additions and correc- 
tions known to readers, both in the species recorded 
and the nomenclature employed, will be communicated 
to us in order that we may publish them in this Journal 
and so keep our knowledge of the avifauna of Sumatra 
up to date. The geographic limits of the list are strictly 
those of the main island. 
Various notes will be found at the end of the list 
under numbers which have an asterisk (*) placed against 
them. 
By an oversight the following paper was omitted from 
the list of literature dealing with the avifauna of Sumatra 
on pp. 81—83, though before us at the time of writing. 
1902. A Collection of Birds from Sumatra, obtained 
by Alfred C. Harrison, Jr., and Dr. H. M. Hiller. By Witmer 
Stone. 
Proceedings of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Phila- 
delphia, LIV, 1902, pp. 670—6o1. 
We have been able to study large collections of Sumatran 
birds since our first list was compiled and have published the 
following accounts of two of them :— 
IgIg, 1920. On a Collection of Birds from N. E. Sumatra. 
By H. C. Robinson and C. Boden Kloss. 
Journal of the Straits Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society, 
No. 80, 1919, pp. 37-133 and map; id., op. cit. No. 81, 1920, 
Pp. 77-115. 
A report on a third collection, from various parts of 
Western Sumatra, will shortly appear in Vol. XI of this 
Journal.
