Dicceum croceoventre, Vigors, Mem. Raffles, p. 673, “ Su¬

The Lampong individuals in no respect differ from Malaccan.

Pardalotus percussus, Temm. PI. Col. 394. f. 2, Java”

Identical with Malaccan specimens. I have not been able 
to compare it with typical examples.

A single specimen in immature plumage belongs to this 
species. Now that the knowledge of the geographical range 
of most species of birds has become so much more defined 
and accurate, the time appears to have arrived when inap¬ 
propriate and misleading geographical titles may be with 
safety suppressed. This bird is certainly not found in Ceylon; 
nor does it occur on the Asiatic continent to the westward of 
the Brahmaputra. I have therefore adopted Temminck's 
title, which is next in priority. It is true that Count Salva- 
dori (Ucc. Born. p. 180) makes Certhia rectirostris, Shaw, 
apply to this species; but that title, founded on plate lxxv. 
of Vieillot’s f Oiseaux Dores/ belongs to an African bird, 
Cinnyris elegans, Vieillot (N. Diet. d^Hist. Nat. xxxi. 
p. 506, 1819), which was also figured by Vieillot under the 
same title some years later (Galerie des Ois. i. p. 292, 
t. clxxviii.). 
68. ZOSTEROPS LATERALIS. 
Zosterops lateralis, Temm. Mus. Lugd.; Hartlaub, J. fur 
O. 1865, p. 15, “ Java and Sumatra.” 
Very near to continental Z. palpebrosus, but of a more 
saturated green above, and with a longitudinal streak of bright
