Count Salvadori records a specimen from Sumatra which has the abdomen shaded with 

 olive, probably a very similar variety to the one I mention from Sibu, in Borneo. 



In my original article I employ the title JEthopyga miles for JE. seherice, and omit to 

 mention that Mr. Moore, of the East-India Museum, London, kindly allowed me to examine the 

 original drawing from which Sir Stamford Raffles described his Certhia siparaja : it is a well- 

 executed painting ; and there can be no doubt as to the species it represents. 



I was wrong in supposing that this species does not inhabit Java ; for we are informed by 

 Count Salvadori that Sig. G. B. Ferrari has sent several adult males from that island to the 

 Genoa Museum. 



In Borneo, according to Mr. Treachei - , its native name is " Suit merah." Mr. Sharpe, 

 writing on the birds of Labuan, informs us : — " Two sets, consisting of two and six eggs respec- 

 tively, are sent by Mr. Low. These are most beautiful, the ground-colour being of a pinky 

 flesh-colour, deepening into richer rufous at the obtuse end, and sparingly spotted and scrawled 

 with dark brown. The two eggs sent by themselves are more uniformly blotched with reddish, 

 the spots being more sparingly distributed; axis - 55 inch, diam. 0'45."

Dr. Anderson refers to this species specimens collected during the Yunnan expedition at 

 Sawady and Bhamo. I have examined two adult specimens obtained by Dr. Anderson at 

 Sawady, and now in the British Mnseum ; and they seem to be true JE. seherice.
