321. Pitta sovdida mullevi Bp., has been recorded from Sumatra but 
no doubt specimens have been wrongly determined as it is highly improb- 
able that the Sornean form occurs as well as P.s. cucullata. The examples 
whose identity we question may well have been, however, P. s. bangkana 
Schleg., of Bangka Island: it is quite possibie that this form occurs in the 
adjacent lowlands of Sumatra. 
As the species name, Turdinus sordidus Muller, has priority over the familiar 
Pitta atricapilla of Lesson. 
528. Hemichelidon sibirica. The form occurring in Sumatra is 
probably the typical one and not H. s. fuliginosa Hodgs., of Nepal, but we 
have seen no specimens. Hs. sibivica has wings of 75 to 83 mm.: H. s. 
fuliginosa is a darker, rather smaller race with wings of 70 to 75 mm. 
354. Cyornis elegans rupatensis Oberholser (Proc. Biol. Soc. 
Washington, 33, 1920, p. 87) from Pulau Rupat, East Sumatra (paratype 
examined) does not seem separabl+ either f-om West Sumatran or from 
Malayan birds. The recordea differences appear to be individual as we have 
specimens exactly agreeing in our Malayan and Bornean series. 
336. We have examined males of a species of Cyornis from the Deli and 
Ophir Districts; the example from the first locality being ore recorded by de 
Beaufort and de Busxy as C. nigrigulavis (Bijdr. t. d. Dierk. Afl. xxi, p. 259). 
The specimens, however, differ from ten Sarawak males which we regard as 
Everett’s form in lacking the blue-black areas on the sides of the breast and 
in having the abdomen and tailcoverts white, the flanks-alone b-ing of the 
colour of the foreneck. The disposition of the colours is as in the female 
of C, elegans but the tints are darker, while the throat and sides of the neck 
are black. 
Cyornis nigvigulavis Everett, is probably synonymous with Schwaneria 
cuevulata Bp., also from Borneo ; as is also Cyornis rufifrons Wallace, from the 
same island. 
348. First met with in Sumatra by Heer E. Jacobson in 1g1q. 
350-355. Of the species listed by Vorderman, 159 Rhipiduva phaenicura, 
Mull., 161 Rhipidura longicauda, Wall., and 162 Rhifidura salvadovi Sharpe, do 
not occur in Sumatra. 
352. As Rhipidura euryura has been recorded from Sumatra we 
include it in our list, but we are doubtful of its occurrence outside Java, 
Sharpe has made it the type of a genus Neomyias 
359. Rhinomyias umbratilis infuscata Finsch has pointed out 
(Notes Leyden Museum, XXII, 1got, p. 202) that the tyres of Muscicapa in- 
fuscata Blyth, 1870, are not females of Cyornis wnicolor as was thought by Blyth 
[and by Hartert, Noy. Zool. IX, 1902, p. 550] but Sumatran representatives 
of Alcippe [Rhinomyias] pectoralis Salvad., 1868. 
Stone has discovered (Proc. Acad. Sci Philadelphia. LIV, 1902, p- 686) 
that the type of Trichostoma wmbratile Strickland, 1840, from Borneo is not an 
exampl> of Trichostoma [Aethostoma] vostratum Blyth, as long supposed, but is 
the Bornean species later named Alcippe pectoralis by Salvadori. 
The Bornean lowland bird is therefore Rhinomyias wmbratilis umbratilis 
(Strick.) and the Sumatran one is 2. w. infuscata (Blyth). 
It cannot be doubted that Rhinomyias wnbratilis vichmondi Stone (1. © s.) 
from Mansalar Island, West Coast of Sumatra, with which when describing it 
Stone identified another specimen from Lingga Island, East Coast of Sumatra 
is the same bird as that which cccu's on Sumatra itself. R. mu. vichmondi 
would seem to be, therefore, a synonym of R. w. infuscata. 
360 Rhinomyias olivacea. Whether Hyloterfe brunneicauda Salvad. 
(Ann. Mus. Civ. Gen. XIV, 1879, p. 46. Padang District) applies to this bird, 
as we are inclined to think, or to Muscitrvea grisola (Blyth) as others believe, it 
has no existence in fact. Neither of these species is at all differentiated in 
Sumatra.
