This is a very interesting representative of 0. sanguiao- 

 lentus of Java and O. consamjuineus of Sumatra. The re- 

 flexion of the upper plumage has more of a green gloss than 

 in either of the allied species, and it differs in the amount of 

 red on the primary-coverts, the three species being easily 

 distinguishable as follows : — 



a. Primary-coverts entirely crimson conscuujidneus. 



b. Primaiy-coverts only partially crimson. 



a^ . Outer primary-coverts entirely black ; inner ones 



broadly edged with crimson scmcpiiitolottHS. 



bK Outer primary-coverts' narrowly fringed with 



dull crimson ; inner ones entirely black vulneratus. 



Fam. CAMPOPHAGlDiE.

 grey, the two centre feathers dull grey for two thirds of their 

 length, the outer ones tipped with ashy ; crown of head dark
