149. Milvus affinis Gould, and M. govinda Sykes. We know of 
no authentic record for either of these which are entered in Vorderman’s and 
Wardlaw-Ramsay’s lists respectively. 
151-152. Streseman states that Pernis apivorous orientalis 
Taczanowski, wintersin the ‘‘ Greater Sunda Ids.’’ (Journ. f. Ornith. 1922, p. 
488). Heer E. Jacobson obtained in the Padang Highlands, 26th February, 
1914, a backish brown, crestless female with a wing of 450 mm. which seems 
to represent this Eastern Siberian race. 
160. Pandion haliaetus. The Sumatran bird may be the form 
Pandion leucocephalus Gould. 
190. Alcedo beryllina Vieill., No. 107 of Vorderman’s list, is 
almostly certanly confined to Java and some of the iesser Sunca Islands and 
does not occur in Sumatra. The correct name for the species is Alcedo 
coevulescens of the same author which has page priority. 
192. Ceyx tridactylus. Laubmann has pointed out (Ornith. 
Monatsber. XXXI, 1923, p. 89) that this species must be called Ceyx 
erithaca (Linn.). Aleedo evithaca Linn. Syst. Nat. 1, 1758, p. 115. ‘‘ Habitat in 
Benghala’’ is eleven years older than Alcedo tvidactyla Pallas. 
193. Laubmann (t.c. p. go) considers Ceyx enopopygius to be as: nonym of 
c. evithaca. It he is correct Nos. 192 and 193 will both stand as Ceyx e. 
erithaca (Linn.). 
191-193. The advent of considerable additional material of Ceyces frcm 
Sumatra and other large islands has caused us to modify our former views in 
the group. A form of Ceyx erithaca (Linn ) evidently occurs in Sumatra 
though we ourselves nave seen no specimen from the main island. 
Whether C. enopopygius Oberholser, is a good species we are unable 
to Say ; it is categorically described as having a cobalt-blue instead of magenta 
rump, a feature which would separate it very markedly from all other local 
species of the genus. Specimens from Aroa Islands and One Fathcm Bank, 
Straits of Malacca, differ no way from mainland birds. 
As regards the ved-backed group We are now prepared to admit that Hartert 
is probably right in considering ©. rufidorsus Strickl., as representing the 
form later named by Sharpe C. ewervythrus and not as an imma ure C. tvidactylus 
(=C. evithaca). 
As regards C. dilwynni (type from Labuan) the majority of a large series 
from southern Sarawak agrees more nearly with C. vujfidorsus ; but one specimen 
from the Baram River differs very markedly in having blue-black wingcoverts 
blue scapulars and a red back, agreeing perfectly with the type description : 
for the present therefore we regard C. di/wynni as a form representing 
C, evithaca in northern Borneo 
The birds we recorded as C. dilwynni from Deli and Serdang, N. E. 
Sumatra (Journ. Straits Branch Roy. Asiatic Soc. No. 80, 1919, p. 85) we now 
regard as subadult examples of C. rujidorsus. 
194, 195; 198, 199. _Haleyon coromanda and H. chloris. With 
reference to races in Sumatra cf. Kloss, Journ. F. M.S. Mus. X, 1221, pp. 
214, 217. 
202. Buceros sylvestris Vieill., No. 188 of our first list. Wedo not 
now consider that this really occurs in Sumatra. It is probably confined to 
Java. 
212. Upupa epops longirostris. We have included this bird in 
the Sumatran list on the strength of a specimen from Medan, Deli, recorded 
as U.e. indica by de Beaufort and de Bussy (Bijdr. t. d. Dierk., Natura Artis 
Magistra, XXi, p. 249.) 
218. Caprimulgus pallidus Hartlaub, and Caprimulgus faberi 
Meyer, Nos. 131 and 133 of Vorderman, have no claim to specific dis- 
tinctness.
