 Certhia erythrorhyncha, Latham, Ind. Orn. i. p. 299 ; Nectarinia minima, Tickell. 



Latham's title was founded on the drawing of a young specimen, with 

 the colour of the bill exaggerated. A still smaller species from Hainan 

 has been described as B. minullum, Swinhoe, Ibis, 1870, p. 240. 



Arakan, Tenasserim. Exceedingly abundant in the jungles near Moul- 

 mein, and coming within reach of the hand if the spectator remains motionless. 



[There is nothing in Latham's text to indicate that he described from a 

 drawing.]

Not uncommon in Arakan ; occurs also in the Malayan peninsula, and in 

 Sumatra. 



[Pegu hills (0.); Tenasserim (D.). The generic title, Toria, must give 

 way to Treron. The species seems to be identical with T. nasica ; if so, its 

 range extends to Borneo.]

 Treron viridifrons, nobis, J. A. S. B. xiv. p. 849 ; Bonap., Icon, des Pigeons, pi. 9. 



Pegu, Tenasserim provinces, Siam. This race is barely separable from 

 C. phcenicopterus, but its colours are always purer and more strongly con- 

 trasted. Mr. W. T. Blanford, however, gives C. phcenicopterus from Ava, in 

 addition to C. viridifrons from Eassein and Thayet Myo.*'
