Lord Tweeddale on Birds from 
123. Munia maja. 
Loocia maja, Linn. S. N. i. p. 301 (1766). 
Count Salvadori (t. c. p. 265) has controverted a sugges¬ 
tion of mine that this bird is replaced in J ava by M. ferru- 
ginea (Sparrm.) =M. majanoides, Temm., on the ground that 
an undoubted example was obtained in Java by the “ Ma¬ 
genta " Expedition. This evidence, however, appears hardly 
sufficient; for hundreds of Munias of almost every species 
may be bought at the different ports in the east, far away 
from their origin. 
124. Munia leucogastroides. 
Munia leucogastroides , Moore, Cat. E.I. C. Mus. ii. p. 510. 
no. 777, “ Java” (1856-58); Walden, Ibis, 1874, p. 145. 
The Sumatran examples do not differ from Javan. 
125. Ploceus maculatus. 
Loxia maculata, L. S. Muller, Suppl. p. 150. no. 56 (1776). 
Loxiaphilippina, Linn. S. N. i. p. 305 (1766) ; Walden, 
Tr. Z. S. ix. p. 209. 
Ploceus bay a, Blyth, J. A. S. B. xiii. p. 945. 
Mr. Buxton's collection only contains examples of females 
or non-breeding males of the Malayan race of P. bay a, Blyth. 
As there seems to be little doubt that the species does not oc¬ 
cur in the Philippines, I have adopted the next published title. 
126. Platysmurus leucopterus. 
Glaucopis leucopterus, Temm. PI. Col. 265, “ Sumatra" 
(1824). 
Malaccan examples are identical. 
127. Crypsirhtna varians. 
Corvus varians, Lath. Ind. Orn., Suppl. p. 26, “Java” 
(1801). 
Examples from Burma, Java, and Sumatra are of one 
species. 
128. CaLORNIS CHALYBiEA. 
Turdus chalybaus, Horsf. t. c. p. 148, “Java" (1820). 
Lanius insidiator, Baffles, t. c. p. 307, “ Sumatra" (1821). 
Javan, Malaccan, and Bornean individuals are not specifi¬ 
cally separable from those obtained in South-east Sumatra.
