36 Mr, R. B. Sharpe’s Contributions to the 
21. Callolophus puniceus (Horsf.); Salvad. l.c. p. 49. 
a. “ No. 14. £. Kucking, August 30,, 1874. Iris crim¬ 
son ; feet dirty green; maxilla blackish brown; mandible 
chrome-yellow; bare space about the eye pale blue.” 
This specimen is apparently either immature or in worn 
plumage; for the head is earthy brown, with the red feathers 
appearing here and there. 
22. Meiglyptes tristis (Horsf.); Salvad. 1. c. p. 56. 
a, b. “ No. 24. $, Jambusan, Sept. 12,1874. Iris crimson.” 
c. ? . “> Sibu, July 1874.” 
There is considerable difference in the amount of barring 
on the breast in the two males, showing that this is a variable 
character. 
23. Meiglyptes tukki (Less.); Salvad. 1. c. p. 57. 
«. “ No. 66. $ . Jambusan, Sept. 16,1874. Iris crimson; 
bill black, mandible whitish; legs dark olive-brown.” 
Agrees tolerably well with Malaccan and Sumatran ex¬ 
amples {Wallace), but is not so rufescent as the specimens 
recorded by me from Labuan (P. Z. S. 1875, p. 103). 
24. Xylolepes validus (Temm.); Salvad. 1. c. p. 43. 
a. “No. 96. $ . Jambusan.”

a. “ g . Sibu, Jan. 19, 1875. Iris chocolate.” 
b. “ $ . Sibu. Iris chocolate; legs greenish brown.”

“ No. 82. £ . Sibu. Iris chocolate.” 
I cannot unite this species to C. saularis. I have carefully 
examined our series of the above bird; and I consider that 
one species alone inhabits the peninsula of India, ranging
