Since [ returned Jonkheer van Heurn’s collection I have 
received Dr. Oberholser’s description of Cyornis elegans 
rapatensis (Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, 33, 1920, p. 87) 
from Rupat Strait, about 250 miles down coast from 
Langkat. This is stated to be like C. e. elegans from 
Northern and Western Sumatra, but much darker above 
and on the throat, breast darker, posterior lower parts more 
ochraceous. The bird from Langkat (Lat. 4° N.) belongs 
to the typical race. 
Eupetes macrocerus macrocerus Temm.

Not differing in any way from specimens in a Malayan 
series. 
Apparantly a new record for Sumatra :— 
Hemichelidon sibirica fuliginesa.

New subspecies :— 
1. Pitta granatina vanheurni subsp. nov. 
Pilta granalina de Beaufort and de Bussy, Bijdr. tot de Dierk. Afl. 
XXI, 1918 (2), p. 259 (N.E. Sumatra) ; Scnouckaert, Club van 
Nederl. Vogelk. Jaarb. No. 10, 1920, p. 115 (N.E. Sumatra). 
Like Pilta granatina coccinea Eyton, of the Malay 
Peninsula but developing a markedly larger bill. The large 
bill and the narrower biack frontal area in addition still 
more clearly distinguish it from P. g. granatina Temm. 
of Western Borneo. 
Wing 89, tail 37, tarsus 40, bill from gape 30, from 
anterior edge of nostril 18 mm. 
Type. Adult male from Soengai Tassik, Langkat, N.E. 
Sumatra. Collected by Jonkheer F. C. van Heurn on 7th 
July, 1920. Compared with 25 examples of P. g. coccinea 
and 25 of P. g. granalina. 
Jonkheer van Heurn has also sent a second male from 
Alas ‘Teurba near Lho Seumaweh, Acheh (13th September, 
1920) ; but it is an immature bird with red tips to many of 
the breast feathers : wing 95 ; tail 43 ; tarsus 38 : bill from 
gape 27, from anterior edge of nostril 14 mm. 
2. Thringorhina striolata umbrosa subsp. nov.
