62 Mr. F. Nicholson on Birds 



As far as I can see (the specimen not being very well pre- 

 served), the bird sent by Mr. Forbes has white lores, as was 

 the case with one of the birds mentioned by Lord Tweeddale 

 {I. c). In the British Museum a Sumatran specimen has the 

 lores grey. Can it be that the white lores are a mark of the 

 hen bird ?
