 to vary with age it is ditticult to say if that is really a local peculiarity or not.)

This species varies somewhat in the colour of the under surface and size of bill. 

 The males from Borneo are generally whiter, almost without the grey wash, on the 

 foreneck, breasts and flanks, and the bill is generally, but not always, shorter. I have, 

 however, seen Tenasserim specimens that are indistinguishable from Bornean ones. 

 I cannot see diifereiices between Tenasserim and Malacca sjiccimens. 1 do not 

 kuow the Sumatran 1'. cameraiwi Salvad., but certainly Malaccan specimens cannot 

 belong to it if it is distinct.

Two males shot between 6000 and 7000 ft., in October 1901, are nearest to the 

 Indian Pt. melanotis, of which they may be only a geograjihical re])resentative 

 (subsjiecies), but differ iu the colour of the underside ; the throat only in ochraceous, 

 the whole breast and abdomen yellow. The forehead is only slightly tinged with 

 yellow. Dimensions as in Pt. melanotis. The whitish patch behiud the eye is 

 ajiparently more greyish and less extended, but one skin is so bad that this 

 character cannot be seeu. 



Pteruthius tahanensis differs from the Javanese Pt. aenobarlius in the shajie 

 and colour of the ochraceous gular area, which is somewhat triangular and chestnut- 

 rufons in Pt. aenoharhus, covering the whole throat, more quadrangular and much 

 paler, more ocliraceous or rufous-ochraeeous in Pt. tahanen.'<i.i, and in some minor 

 details. Probably Pt. melanotis, tahanensis, and iienohavhus can be treated as .-^ub- 

 sj)ecies and named trinomially.
