along the inner web. Total length 10*4 inches, culmen 1^ 

 wing 5'9j tail 41, tarsus 1. 



Adult female. Similar to the male, but without any black 

 on the forehead or throat ; the lores, feathers round the eye, 

 sides of face, and ear-coverts glossy black. Total length 10 

 inches, culmen 0*95, wing 5*55, tail 4, tarsus 0'9. 



This species must be very similar to G. melanocephalus, 

 Salvad. {t. c. p. 206), but is evidently different on account of 

 its grey crown. I have named it after my friend Mr. G. C. 

 Norman, from whom I have received material assistance in 

 ornithological work at the British Museum during the past 

 two years. 



6. Pericrocotus montanus, Salvad. t. c. p. 205. 



Of this species Mr. Whitehead has sent a pair, which I 

 refer to Salvadori^s species until I have the opportunity of 

 comparing Sumatran and Bornean examples. Count Salva- 

 dor! described the species from a female bird, and the speci- 

 men now received fully bears out the characters assigned to 

 it by its describer. The male resembles P. Solaris very 

 closely, but is altogether more richly vermilion and not so 

 orange, and has no yellow on the throat, as in that species.
