Summary:
Glad Hartert wrote to ARW re. Ptilotis limbata because ARW seems to have overlooked fact that had found it in Bali - obtained only 1 specimen there - fault of agent that it got misplaced from ARW's private collection (which was afterwards purchased by the BM) & was bought by Mr Gould. ARW's notes indicate Ptilotis limbata obtained by him in Baly [sic] and Lombok. Inc. list of birds collected by ARW June 13+14, 1856.
