Tigajavanensis (Ljung) ; Hargitt, tom. cit. p. 412.

and almost invariably found in cocoa-nut groves. 
132. Chrysocolaptes gutticristatus. 
Chrysocolaptes gutticristatus (Tick.); Hargitt, tom. cit.

also, curiously enough, in the Rhio Archipelago, south of 
Singapore, hut decidedly rare in the intervening country.

Hemicercus sordidus (Eyton); Hargitt, tom. cit. p. 482 ; 
Robinson, p. 183. 
Rather scarce, but widely distributed throughout the 
Peninsula. Hemicercus canente is also found in the extreme 
north of the Peninsula, but we did not meet with it. 
135. Alophonerpes pulvertjlentus. 
Hemilophus pulverulentus (Temm.) ; Hargitt, tom. cit. 
p. 494. 
Not uncommon in certain localities, especially on Lang-

low country. 
136. Thriponax javensis. 
Thriponax javensis (Horsf.) ; Hargitt, tom. cit. p. 498. 
Also local and somewhat rare, generally in low swampy 
jungle, and even in the mangroves, but occasionally found 
far inland among the foot-hills, though never in the high 
mountains.
