342 Mr. R. B. Sharpe's Contributions to the 



young female in the Museum without the red crest^ changing 

 by a direct moult into the ordinary grey-headed form. 



I was at first disposed to consider that a difference existed 

 in the size of the billj and that the Javan species had a much 

 smaller one than the Malaccan. I find, however, that in 

 every locality the birds vary greatly in the length and size of 

 bill, and very great differences are apparent in Mr. Low's 

 series from N.W. Borneo. 



The above was written on Mr. Low's specimens before 

 Mr. Ussher's collection arrived. All four of his specimens 

 are from Lumbidan. A fully adult male and two females, as 

 well as an interesting young bird with fawn-coloured crest, 

 are in the series sent by Mr. Ussher ; the last-named bird is 

 commencing to gain his full plumage by the appearance of 

 scarlet feathers in the centre of the crown. See also Mr. 

 Hume's remarks [' Stray Feathers,' 1878, pp. 128-131).
