1 Excluding obviously immature, doubtful or moulting birds the adult 
females of our large series of this cuckoo are readily divisible into two well 
defined groups. One of these consists of comparatively large rufous 
birds with the bill relatively robust : these we regard as malayana . The 
other section includes rather smaller birds in which the markings on the 
plumage are white and the bill less robust. These we have listed as 
scolofacea t but the wing-range of these birds is very large for one race and 
perhaps specimens of chinensis Cab, are included. Alt our records of 
localities based on literature and not skins are included above under malayana 
as this is the common form : our material comes from the Malay Peninsula 
and Natuna Islands only.
