100 Viscount Walden and Mr. Layard on 



edge of second quill, somewhat ill-defined and barely separated. 

 Third quill with two well-marked and separate white spots. 

 Fourth quill like third, but with an additional faintly marked 

 and smaller spot. Fifth and sixth quills, with three clear white 

 spots. Three spots on the inner webs of the remaining quills, 

 both primary and secondary. Under shoulder-coverts mot- 

 tled dirty golden and brown, with carmine tips. " Bill and feet 

 horn colour ; eyes white (?) J" 



"Wing 6 inches; tail 4; bill from forehead l"o, from gape 1'75 ; 

 outer hind toe 1'13; outer front toe 0-87; tarsus 1'12. 



Described from a single individual obtained in the Island of 

 Negros, and stated on the label to be a female. 



The carmine dorsal colouring of this species closely resembles 

 that of Ch. carlotta^ (Malh.), Ch. hematrihon (Wagler), and 

 Brachypternus erythronotus (Vieill.) apud Malh. 



The male bird may prove to possess a red head, as in the 

 rest of the genus.

" ^, iris brown; feet coral; bill black; stomach, beetles. 

 Island of Negros." 



The bill in this example is somewhat larger than in Javan 

 individuals ; otherwise no material difference can be detected 

 between specimens from the two localities.

 pternus in the Hand-List, no. 8748.
