XI. NOMENCLATORIAL REMARKS ON SUMATRAN 
BIRDS. 
By E. STRESEMANN. 
[In the preface to our revised “ Nominal List of the 
Birds of Sumatra” (Journ. Fed. Malay States Museums, 
VIII, Part II (1923), pp. 319-362) we invited ornithologists 
to communicate to us any additions or corrections that 
appeared necessary in order that, by publishing them in 
this Journal, we might keep our knowledge of the island’s 
avifauna up to date. We give below the first response 
received. H.C.R. and C.B.K.]. 
No. 30. Museadivora. Ducula Hodgson (type D. insignis) 
is an older name than Muscadivora and can, to my 
mind, be used for all the pigeons formerly called 
Car pophaga. 
No. 34. Macropygia leptogrammica leptogrammica. This 
bird should be called Macropygia unchall unchall 
(Wagl.) [Columba unchall, Wagler, Syst. Av. 
Columba, sp. 38 (1827) Java}. See Rothschild and 
Hartert, Nov. Zool. VIII, p. 119 (1901). 
No. 56. Podicipes. Read Podiceps Latham. 
No. 73. Sarcogrammus must be replaced by Lobivanellus 
Strickl. See Mathews, Nov. Zool. XVIII, p. 4 (1911). 
His remarks are correct. 
No. 75-76, etc. Charadrius. The type of Charadrius Linn., 
is C. hiaticula. Aegialitis Boie, is thus an absolute 
synonym of Charadrius. See Hartert, Vogel palaarkt. 
Fauna, p. 1531 (1920). 
No. 95. Gallinage. Now replaced by Capella Frenzel. 
No. 117. Ardetta. Must be replaced by Ixobrychus Bill- 
er 
No. 128. Plotus. Must be replaced by Anhinga Brisson. 
No. 223. Apidae. The family must be called Apodidae 
(A pidae are bees). 
No. 248. Hierococcyx bocki is a small race of H. spar- 
verioides and should stand as Hierococcyx spar- 
verioides bocki. 
No. 255. Cuculus saturatus is the same as Cuculus optatus 
(254). |[Erroneously included by us for we followed 
Hartert (Vogel palaarkt. Fauna, p. 947). Should both 
names apply to the same bird, as Stresemann considers, 
it must be known as C. saturatus with C. optatus 
proposed two years later, as a synonym ].
