 The appearance in Borneo of an Ixidia allied to /. cyani- 

 ventris is an event of some interest, as adding another species 

 to the avifauna of the island. I have described the present 

 specimen as new to science, although undoubtedly closely 

 allied to the Malaccan /. cyaniventris. It is, however, cer- 

 tainly larger, and is brighter in colour, especially on the 

 wing-coverts, which have bright golden-yellow margins : the 

 hoary eyebrow is much more distinct in consequence of the 

 anteocular feathers and the ear-coverts being blackish. The 

 whole tone of the grey colour of the head and underparts is 

 darker, the sides of the face being black, which is not the 

 case in the Malayan representative. The wing of the latter 

 bird, of which I have four specimens before me, does not 

 exceed 2" 85 inches.

 This species was first discovered in Borneo by Doria and 



Beccari. A specimen is now sent by Mr. Everett.

 Procured by Motley at Banjermassing. Not previously 



sent from Sarawak.

Mr. Everett sends a single specimen in winter plumage ; 

 and this is the first authentic occurrence of the species in the 

 island of Borneo. Count Salvadori enters it in his book as 

 a bird likely to be met with, as it has been killed in many 

 of the surrounding islands.
