A single adult, No. 171068, U.S.N.M., from Pulo Jimaja, September 

 27, 1899. Length, 432 mm. "Iris in two rings — the inner green, 

 the outer yellowish white; feet green; upper mandible red, horn 

 brown at tip; lower mandible horny brown." This specimen is 

 rather more bluish above than birds from the Malay Peninsula and 

 Sumatra, but such is probably only individual variation. Doctor
