ZOOLOGICAL GEOGRAPHY.

of Timaliidse ; Eupetes, a most remarkable form, perhaps allied 
to Enicurus, and Cinclus ; Bhabdornis (Certhiidze) found only in 
tbe Philippines; Psaltria, a diminutive bird of doubtful affinities, 
provisionally classed among the tits(Paridae); Setornis (Pycnono- 
tidse) ; Lalage (Campephagidse) extending eastward to the Pacific 
Islands ; Pycnospkrys , Philentovia (Museicapidse) ; Laniellus, 
a beautiful bird doubtfully classed with the shrikes (Lanikke); 
Platylophus and Pityriasis , the latter a most anomalous form — 
perhaps a distinct family, at present classed with the jays, in 
Corvidge ; Prionochilus, a curious form classed with Dicseidm ; 
Erythrura (Ploceidae), extending eastwards to the Fiji Islands ; 
Gymnops , Calornis, (Sturnid®); Eurylcemus, Cory don, and Calyp- 
tomena (Eurylsemidae) ; Eaciclila, the longest tailed and most 
elegantly marked of the Pittidae ; Bnnwardtipicus and Miglyptes 
(Picidec) ; Psilopogon and Calorhamphus, (Megalcemidae) ; j Rhino- 
coccyx, Dasylophus , Lcpidogrammus , Carpococcyx, Zanclostomus , 
Poliococcyx , Bhinortha, (Cuculidoe) ; Berenicornis, Caldo , Cranor- 
hinus , Penclopides , Bhinoplax , (Bucerotidee) ; Psittinus, (Psitta- 
cidae) ; Ptilopus , Phapitreron, (Columbidae) ; Bollulus, (Trero- 
n idie) ; Machcerlutmplms, (Falconkkc). Many of these genera are 
abundant and wide-spread, while some of the most characteristic 
Himalayan genera, such as Larvivora, Gan'ulax , Hypsipetes , 
Pomatorhimts, and Dcndrocitta, are here represented by only 
a few species. 
Among the groups that are characteristic of the Malayan 
sub-region, tlieTimaliida? and Pycuonotidse stand pre-eminent; the 
former represented chiefly by the genera Timalia, Malacopteron, 
Macronus, and Trichastoma , the latter by Criniger, Microscelis , 
and many forms of Pycnonotus . The Muscicapidse, Dicruridm, 
Campephagidie, Ploceidce, and Nectariniidae are also well 
developed ; as well as the Pittidae, and the Eurylamiidse, the 
limited number of species of the latter being compensated by 
a tolerable abundance of individuals. Among the Picarim are 
many conspicuous groups; as, woodpeckers (Picidai); barbets 
(Megakeinidai) ; trogons (Trogonidae) ; kingfishers (Alcedinkke) ; 
and hornbills (Bucerotidm) ; five families which are perhaps the 
most conspicuous in the whole fauna. Lastly come the pigeons
