Cuculi and Columbae 1 have made an exception, when І 
thought the names used bij Scureeen preferable to others. 
Larus fritzei (Brucu) has found no place in my list, the, 
statement about its occurence in the Strait of Sunda: having 
turned out erroneous. Nor has notice been taken of sbirds 
whose occurrence in Java is as yet only problematical 1 
intend to treat of those dubious cases in a monograph on the 
birds of Java, a work I hope to be soon able to conclude on 
the same plan as Sarvaponrs Catalogue of Birds from Borneo. 
Owing to my explorations of the neighbourhood of Batavia 
and of Mount Salak, I am able to add 14 species to the 
Avifauna of Java, among which one is new to science, i. c. 
Brachypteryx salaccensis. The other thirteen are: 
No. 50 Loriculus galgulus, L. 
» 127 Pitta mulleri, Bp. 
» 150 Setaria pectoralis, Salv. 
^ 162 Calamadyta orientalis, Temm. & Schleg. 
» 168 Cisticola erythrocephala, Jerd. 
» 207 Erythromyias mulleri, Blyth. 
» 218 Culicicapa ceylonensis, Sw. 
» 220 (Qryptolopha schwanerii, Temm. 
» 280 Chlorura hyperythra. Rchb. 
» 551 Gallinago scolopacina, Bp. 
» 381 Querquedula gibberifrons , Mull. 
» 586 Fregata minor, Gm. 
» 400 Onychoprion sumatranus, Вай. 
Nine of those have been found in the immediate neighbour- 
hood of Batavia! 
The confusion in the nomenclature of some families of Birds , 
(as in case for instance of the family of Trmarra’s) together with 
the insufficiency of the ornithological literature available at 
Batavia, makes it next to impossible always to avoid error. 
Rectifications will be received thankfully.
