A. chloric/aster, although they seem a little less bright below than ^i. malaccensis 

 inalaccensis. On Loinbok neither ^\'allace nor Uoherty or Everett found an 

 Anthreptes malaccensis. This is most remarkable, and, if not due to misfortune, 

 perhaps gives a clue to the difl'ereutiation of the darker race. In the above remarks 

 the males only have been considered ; the females must be studied carefully at 

 another time. In investigating these forms Shelley and Meyer & AViglesworth 

 should be read, while Gadow {Cat. B. IX.) is not exact and not critical enough.
