Setaria rufifrons was described by Cabanis as from 
Sumatra or Java. Biittikofer has deliberately attached 
lepidocephala, Gray, to Javanese birds and they will have 
to bear that name if different from Sumatran examples : 
but Sharpe, after inspecting specimens in Leyden stated 
that the differences he noted in the “ Catalogue ” did not 
exist. 
As several Javanese birds have wings of 79 to 81 mm. 
Finsch’s statement that the wing of the type of rufifrons 
measures 80 mim. (3 inches of Cabanis) is confirmed. 
This is one of the species which, though occurring in 
Indo-China and the Sunda Islands, is not found in the 
Malay Peninsula.

States compared) in having the ear-coverts much greyer, 
hardly if at all washed with green ; the white throat stripe

brighter, becoming almost orange chrome on the middle 
of the breast.

of the southern race.

tip sometimes black ; feet dark slate or slaty black.
