Mr. R. B. Sharpe on the Genus Orthotomus. 
at Jambusan by Mr. Alfred Everett, and at Banjermassing 
by the late Mr. Mottley. A Sumatran specimen, collected 
by Mr. Wallace, is in the British Museum, which also pos¬ 
sesses a skin presented to this institution by Captain Stack- 
house Pinwell; it was from Malacca; and Mr. Blyth likewise 
obtained his original specimens from this latter locality. 
10. Orthotomus sepium. 
Hah. Java, Sumatra, and Lombock. 
This Tailorbird was originally obained in Java by Dr. 
Horsfield, and described by him (Trans. Linn. Soc. xiii. p. 166). 
Mr. Wallace obtained it both in East and West Java; his 
specimens are now in the British Museum, which also con¬ 
tains an example from Sumatra; a young bird was procured 
by Mr. Wallace in the island of Lombock, which we believe 
to be referable to the present species, and not to O. cine- 
raceus , although the two birds in their immature stages are 
rather hard to distinguish. 
11. Orthotomus cucullatus. 
Hah. Java. 
So far as we know, this bird is entirely confined to the 
island of Java. Mr. Wallace obtained a specimen of it in 
Western Java in 1861. 
12. Orthotomus coronatus. 
Hah . Eastern Himalaya, ranging eastward to the Burmese 
hills. 
The types of this species are in the British Museum. It 
is closely allied to O. cucullatus, but is distinguished by having 
the entire inner web white on the outer tail-feathers. Dr. 
Jerdon (B. Ind. ii. p. 168) observes :—“I procured specimens 
of this new species of Tailorbird from the vicinity of Dar¬ 
jeeling, where it occurs in the warmer valleys. A nest and 
eggs were brought to me, said to be those of this bird, similar 
to that of O. longicauda , but not so carefully made ; the leaves 
were loosely attached, and with fewer stitches. The eggs 
were two in number, white, with rusty spots.” Major Bulger 
(Ibis, 1869, p. 166) also met with this species in the plains
