NOTES. 
6. Tropicoperdix charltoni is recorded by Vorderman from the 
Lampongs (Nat. Tyd. Ned. Ind. LV, 1895, p. 154) but several of the determin- 
ations in that paper are so doubtful [e. g:—Baza magnirostris (Philippines 
species), Spizaetus lanceolatus (Celebes species)]—that further confirmation is 
required. However, we include the species for the present. 
13,14. Lophura spp. Fora discussion of Sumatran races and names 
vide Buttikofer, Notes Leyden Museum, XVII, 1896, pp. 169-196, whose 
nomenclature differs somewhat from ours. 
15, 16. Gallus. We have dealt with the nomenclature of the Red 
Jungle-fowl elsewhere (Reccrds Indian Mus., XIX, 1920, pp. 13-15, 181-183). 
The Zoological Museum, Buitenzorg, contains a specimen of the Javan race 
from the Lampongs. 
19. Pavomuticus, No. 18 of our first list. We now believe that the 
Peacock does not really occur in Sumatra in the wild state and it is therefore 
not included in the present list. 
20. Turnix pugnax. In Journ. Bombay Nat. Hist. Soc., XXVIII, 
1922, p. 851, note, Baker states ‘‘ Pugnax’’ of Temminck (1815) is antedated by 
Javanica of Rafinesque (1814).’’ This may be so, but a still earlier name seems 
to be Tetrao Suscicator Gm., Syst. Nat, I, 1788, p. 763, Java. We retain for the 
present the specific name by which this quail is commonly known. 
24. Treroncurvirostra. Weare unable to say whether the Sumatran 
bird differs from the typical form inhabiting the Malay Peninsula. It has been 
recorded from Sumatra under names applied to birds from various other parts 
of the Oriental] region, viz:—wifalensis, nasica, griseicauda. Parrot has named 
N. E. Sumatran birds Tvevon hartevti (Abh. K. Bayer. Akad. Wiss. II, Kz. 
“XXIV. Bd. I. Abh. 1907, p. 261) and this name will have to be used for the 
Sumatran bird, if distinct (cf. Journ. Nat. Hist. Soc. Siam, V, 1921, pp. 
26-28). 
We do not believe in the occurrence in Sumatra of the very dubious sub- 
species Tvevon curvivostya nasica, Schleg., originally described from Southern 
Borneo, though both Salvadori (Ann. Mus. Civ. Gen. xiv, 1879, p. 77), Hartert 
(Nov. Zool. ix, 1902, p. 215, and Parrot (l.c.s.) record it, the first from West 
Sumatra and the others from the neighbourhood of Deli. Inthe former case 
it occurred flying in the same flocks as the typical race, as specimens of both 
were obtained by Beccari on the same date. WNipalensis is the Indo-Chinese 
form and griseicanda is based on Javanese birds. 
30. The generic name Muscadivora Schlegel, 1864, replaces the better 
known Carpophaga which is preoccupied. 
355. The Buitenzorg Zoological Museum possesses an adult male and a 
young example of Macropygia e. emiliana from Palembang. 
38. Streptopelia bitorquata. We have examined a male, obtained 
at Deli by Dr. de Bussy and now in the Amsterdam Museum, which entitles 
this species to a place in the Sumatran list. Whether the bird was truly wild 
or had been introduced from Java we are unable to say : probably the latter. 
Vorderman recorded the species as occurring, but it then only rested ona 
casual reference by Lesson and Wallace. 
42. Hypotaenidia striata. Oberholser suggests that Sumatran 
birds belong to the typical Philippine form (Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus. 55, 1919, p. 
477) and not to the Javanese gulavis (Horsf.) or the Malayan albiventris 
(Swainson). The Sumatran specimens we have seen cannot be separated from 
others from the Malay Peninsula and Siam: we have not been able to compare 
our material with Javanese or Philippine examples. 
47. Limnobaenus paykKulli. An example of this very wandering 
species was obtained by Heer A.C. F. van Heyst at Medan, Deli, N.E. 
Sumatra, on 7th January 1918.
