Abdomen and undertail-coverts in males a trifle paler 
than in either /. fumbriata or culminata ; but jess white 
than in neglecta. 
Females inseparable from those of culminata. 
‘he smallest form : wings 90-95 mm. (9¢ 3@ from 
Sarawak). 
Confined to Borneo 
4. Lalage fimbriata neglecta (Hume). 
Volvocitvora neglecla Hume, Stray Feathers, V, 1877, p. 203. Extreme 
south of Tenasserim. 
Males paler grey throughout than those of the above 
three races ; heads and mantles not becoming blackish : 
abdomens and undertail-coverts white or whitish. 
Females inseparable from all but the Javan race. 
Wings 94-106 mm. (10¢ 8¢@). 
From Southern TYenasserim down to about Lat. 6° N. 
in the Malay Peninsula.’ 
Males from between Lat. 6° and 3° N. in the Peninsula 
are intermediate between culminata and neglecta, but on 
the whole are nearest the latter : in the abdomen and lower 
tail-coverts they resemble schierbrandi, but do not appear 
to develop the dark head and back of the Bornean bird. 
Wings 94-105 (56 69). 
MALACOCINCLA SHPIARIA. 
In the Trans. Linn. Soc. (XIII, 1822, p. 158) Horsfield 
described Brachypteryx sepiaria from Java and in the 
Zeitschrift fiir de Gesammte Ornithologie (I, 1884, p. 21) 
Meyer described Turdinus sepiarius var. minor from the 
same island. In Notes from the Leyden Museum (XVII, 
1895, p. 82) Buttikofer considered that the latter author 
could rightly do this as Horsfield’s sepiaria was the paler- 
headed bird. This is actually the case. 
I recently obtained in Java, birds which Mr. E. C. Stuart 
Baker has kindly compared for me with Horsfield’s types 
in the British Museum. ‘The latter represent the paler- 
headed form, so I am now able to definitely state that 
Malacocincla sepiaria sepiaria (Horsf.) is the Western and 
Malacecincla sepiaria minor (Meyer) the Eastern Javanese 
form. 
Though the individuals of Meyer’s type series have 
wings much smaller than my specimens, or any others on 
record from Java, it is accepted that they do represent a 
form of seplaria. 
Wing measurements of my specimens. 
1. From West Java (Wynkoops Bay and Pandeglang 
district) ; 66, 67, 67, 68, 69, 71, 73-5 mm. M. s. sepiaria 
1T have seen an undoubted example of Z. /. culminata from 
Patani, however, showing that this race and neglecta may 
(occasionally) inosculate as well as intergrade.
