Eulabes javanus, Hume, Str. F. 1877, p. 38. 



Adult male. Similar to M. javanensis, but much smaller, and 

 distinguished by the form of the little patch of feathers which 

 extends from the hinder part of the eye. This is triangular in 

 shape, and never reaches to the auricular feathers, leaving always a 

 distinct line of bare skin : " bill coral-red, yellow at the tij) ; inside 

 of mouth fleshy ; eyelids well feathered ; naked skin in general 

 deep yellow, more or less tinged with orange on the face, and purer 

 and varying in colour on the lappets, the uppermost corner of the 

 lappet near the eye tinged with blue ; legs, feet, and claws yellow ; 



MAIN.iTUS SINENSIS.

 David 8f Oust. Ois. Chine, p. 365 (1877). 

 Described from a living specimen. No type was preserved, and the species 

 is vei-y doubtfully distinct from M. iniermcdius.

 David if Oustalet, Ois. Chine, p. 3G(5 (1877). 

 " Similar to E. sinensis, but having the subocular fleshy skin narrow, 0'2y inch, 

 lengthened downwards and not square. I examined several of the Chinese 

 form, and they all agreed in having it square-shaped. On this peculiarity I 

 venture to separate the Hainan rave ; for my single specimen was left in charge 

 of a fi'iend, in whose hands it died, and, notwithstanding all uiy careful 

 instructions, it was thrown away." {H. Swinhoe, I. c.) 

 Hab. Hainan.
