Mr. E. Hargitt on the Genus Chrysophlegma. 269 
female of his C. mentale are not taken from the Javan bird, 
his description of the young male is taken from a Javan 
example in the Leiden Museum, which I have seen. As 
regards Malherbe's representations of the present species in 
his f Monograph' (pi. lxxv. figs. 4, 5), the male is not the 
Javan bird; the figure of the female is partly taken from 
C. mentale, and partly from the Malaccan bird; the side of 
the face is characteristic of the Javan species, but the throat 
has been altered to be in harmony with the author's views. 
Malherbe considered the birds having spotted throats to be 
the young, and those having the striped throat he regarded 
as the adult; and if the adult J avan birds at present in the 
Leiden Museum were in the collection when it was visited 
by that writer, he would have looked upon them as immature, 
and have figured as adult the striped-throated bird, which is 
another species. 
C. mentale has a limited range, being confined to the 
Island of Java. My descriptions of the adult male and of 
the fledgling are taken from specimens in the Leiden 
Museum, that of the female being taken from an example 
in the British Museum.
