CYPSELlDiE. 



feathers on the forehead, a broad stripe from the base of the ciilmen 

 continued over the eye and running out in elongated feathers to the 

 nape, chin, and a broad stripe under the ear-coverts, continued in 

 elongated feathers, vent, under tail-coverts, and innermost secon- 

 daries white ; ear-coverts chestnut ; back, rump, upper tail-coverts, 

 breast, abdomen, and sides of the body metallic bronze-brown ; 

 ■wings and tail brown glossed with deep blue, especially on the 

 outer webs of the primaries ; shafts of rectriccs brown above, white 

 below : " iris dark brown ; feet purplish ; bill black " {Ilartert). 

 Total length about 6-5 inches, wing 5-5-5, tail 3-2. 



Adult female. Like the male, but the ear-coverts metallic blue. 



Young. A very young bird collected by Hose in Baram, Borneo, 

 with the wings only 3'8 inches in length, has faint remains of pale 

 brownish edges to the feathers of the upper parts and abdomen, and 

 clear white edges to the tips of the quills ; some parts of the abdo- 

 men, concealed by the bronze feathers of the adult, show the bufEy 

 white plumage of the nestling. 



Specimens from the Philippines are generally larger with longer 

 ■wings ; but this feature does not seem to be constant, and I cannot 

 find any other differences. 



Hah. From Tenasserim throughout the Malay Peninsula, extend- 

 ing into Siam ; Sumatra, Java, Borneo, Celebes, Timor, Philippines.
