tail ; only two of the inner greater coverts have the blue spots 

 at the tip. 



Two other specimens from Malacca are precisely similar. 



Sumatra {Wallace). The male has the under tail-coverts 

 reaching to the end of the tail itself. No blue spots on the 

 inner greater coverts. 



Borneo. A specimen presented by Rajah Brooke has the 

 tail-coverts reaching to the tip of the tail^ and agrees both in 

 this respect and in the absence of blue spots on the coverts. 



Banjermassing [Motley). Agrees with the foregoing ex- 

 ample in both respects. 



Lastly, both Mr. Everett^s birds have the long tail-coverts, 

 but show a small blue spot on the innermost coverts. 



Of course nothing but adult males have been compared. 

 I have little hesitation in keeping the Suraatran and Bor- 

 nean birds distinct from the Malaccan; but the question 

 now to be settled is their identity with the Javan Irena tur- 

 cosa of Walden.

This specimen has a much more robust bill than any of 

 the others from various localities with which I have com- 

 pared it.
