Malacopteron majus, Blyth, J. A. S. B. 1847, p. 461,“ Ma¬ 
lacca;^ Salvadori, Ucc. Born. p. 225. 
Napothera pileata, Mull., Bp. Consp. i. p. 359, “ Sumatra, 
Borneo 99 (1850). 
Sumatran and Malaccan examples are identical; and I may 
add that examples of the nearly allied M. magnum, Eyt., 
from Sumatra and Malacca, in my collection in no way differ.

Pitta boschii, Mull. & Schl. Yerhandl. Nat. Gesch. Ned. 
Ind. Arcs, pp. 5, 16, t. 1, “ Sumatra” (1839-44). 
There are no specific differences between Malaccan and 
typical examples. 
92. ClTTOCINCLA MACROURA. 
Turdus macrourus, Gm. S. N. i. p. 820 (1788). 
The Sumatran examples do not differ from Malaccan, Javan, 
Burman, Indian, Ceylonese, and Hainan individuals. 
93. Copsychus musicus. 
Lanius musicus, Baffles, t.c. p. 307, “Sumatra” (1821) ; 
Walden, Ibis, 1872, p. 102. 
Copsychus problematicus, Sharpe, Ibis, 1876, p. 36, “ Borneo.” 
Some years ago (L c.) I endeavoured to show that the Ma¬ 
layan and Javan Copsychus, belonging to the C.-saularis 
section, differed from C. saularis in having the under wing- 
coverts “ white centred with black; ” and I suggested that, as 
the Sumatran species would in all probability be found to 
agree with them, they would fall under the title of musicus , 
given by Sir S. Baffles to the Sumatran Dayal. Comparing 
the specimens obtained by Mr. Buxton, I find that this sur¬ 
mise was correct. They also possess only six pairs^oPwhite 
rectriees, as against eight in true C. saularis —a character 
which is almost constant in Malaccan birds also. 
The Javan race has a very short bill, but is otherwise iden¬ 
tical with Sumatran C. musicus. Swainson long ago (2J Cent, 
p. 292) distinguished it under the title of brevirostris* . Mr. 
* Erroneously identified with C. amcenus in Horsfield & Moore’s 
Catalogue.
