ON A COLLECTION OF BIEDS FEOM N. E. SUMATRA. 83 



160. Pitta coccinea Eyton. 

 Also new to Sumatra. 



165. Cyornis nigrigularis Everett. 



On examination we think that this identification is open to 

 considerable doubt but leave the question open for the 

 present. 



166. Cyornis sumatrensis Sharpe. 



This species is now established as a Sumatran bird which has 

 hitherto been doubtful. 



171. Xanthopygia xanthopygia (Hay). 



New for Sumatra but a wide-spread migrant. 

 188. A eg lili in a viridissima (Bp.). 

 194. Irena criniger Sharpe. 

 19 7. Criniger tephrogenys (Jard. and Selby). 



Almost certainly Criniger sumairanus, Wardl. Earns. 

 205. Otocompsa emeria (Linn.). 



An unexpected addition to the Sumatran list. We have ex- 

 amined the specimen which does not differ from Malayan 

 birds. Possibly an aviary specimen. 

 212. Anuropsis malaccensis (Hartl.). 

 215. Cijonoderma erythropterum (Bb/th). 



223. Zoothera andromed&e (Temm.).

 279, No. 124. 



228. Locust ella certhiola (Pall.). 



New to Sumatra but recently met with on migration at One 

 Fathom Bank in the Straits of Malacca, lat. 3° N. 



232. Cisticola exilis (Vig. and Horsf.). 



Not definitely recorded from Sumatra hitherto. 

 244. Zosterops auriv enter Hume. 



Almost certainly Z. buxtoni Nicholson. 

 260. Sporaeginthus amandava Linn. 



Probably introduced. 

 271. Oriolus xanthonotus Horsf. 

 282. Platysmurus leucopterus (Temm.).

 following species not represented either in Messrs. de Beaufort and 

 de Bussy's list or in Mr. van Beyst's collection occur: —
