Mr. E. Hargitt on the Genus Chrysophlegma. 273 



particulars of all the specimens of C. mentale and also of the 

 Malaccan species contained in the Paris Museum^ and also for 

 having compared them with drawings of both species which I 

 sent to him ; and I accept without hesitation Lesson^s title of 

 squamicollis for the specimen obtained by the Paris Museum 

 from Temminck in the year 1823, which is undoubtedly the 

 species of Malacca and Borneo. 



The habitat of the present species is Southern Tenasserim, 

 the Malayan Peninsula, Sumatra, and Borneo. In Tenas- 

 serim, according to Messrs. Hume and Davison, it is " con- 

 fined to the extreme south of the province, and very rare 

 there ; probably only an occasional straggler.^^ Mr. Davison 

 procured it at Bankasoon ; Stoliczka found it in the Province 

 of Wellesley ; and the Hume Collection contains Malayan 

 examples from Klang, Salangore, Pulo Seban, Neealys, 

 Chohong, Johore, Malacca, and Singapore Island, illustrating, 

 as far as possible, the entire geographical range of the bird 

 in the Malayan Peninsula. This species also formed part of 

 the collection made in Sumatra by Sir Stamford Raffles, and 

 Mr. Wallace procured it in the same island. Examples 

 from Borneo are to be found in most museums. In the 

 latter island it has been collected in Lumbidan and Brunei 

 by the late Governor Ussher, and it has been recorded 

 from the Lawas River by Mr. Treacher. Mr. Everett pro- 

 cured it at Bintulu. It has been obtained at Sarawak by 

 the Marquis Doria and Dr. Beccari ; and I have in my col- 

 lection a specimen from Jambusan [Dr. Platen). On the 

 north-eastern coast it has been found by ]Mr. Lempriere at 

 Silam, and Dr. Guillemard also met with it at that place and 

 at Sandakan.
