Marshall to keep the Bornean bird distinct from C. hayi of 

 Malacca. The female is precisely like the male.

Three specimens now sent by Mr. Everett are in the 

 state of plumage described by the Messrs. Marshall as M. 

 humii. They are all different one from the other, but show 

 pretty conclusively that the last-named species cannot be up- 

 held. The five figures given in Count Salvadori^s work prove 

 this also ; and Mr. Everett's specimens show the gradual trans- 

 ition from green- to bright-plumaged birds. At the same 

 time he has also sent, a full-plumaged male example, killed in 

 the same locality ; and I do not think there can be the slightest 

 doubt as to the absolute identity of M. humii with M. mys- 

 tacophonus. 



18. MegaLjEMA versicolor.

19. Megal.ema duvauceli.

But little difference is to be seen in the sexes, according to 

 the two specimens now sent. The bars on the back are much 

 more distinct in the female ; but this may be partly due to 

 the worn plumage of the male bird.
