" Marup, 2, ii'is dark brown, legs pinkish white." 

 Colour of soft parts in the male is not noted. Females seem to 

 diflFer from males by having most of the abdominal and ventral 

 feathers edged with carmine. The wing of this remarkable 

 species is long and powerful. The first quill is about two thirds 

 of the length of the second, which is three fourths of an inch 

 shorter than the third ; the third is equal to the fifth, the fourth 

 being a little the longest. The tail is short and even. The first 

 quill has a round white mark at its insertion, on the inner web. 

 In the next six quills this white mark expands and forms a broad 

 white bar on the inner webs. It is wanting on the secondaries. 

 One, a middle rectrix of a female example, is crossed by a dingy, 

 obscure, carmine mark. In all the other examples the rectrices 

 are uniform dark slate-black.

 " Marup, S , iris brown, bill bluish white, legs lead-grey." 

 This locality must be added to those given by me (/. c).

An example of a female or of a young male Graucalus, but 

 unfortunately without a label, formed part of Mr. Everett^s col- 

 lection. It is not to be distinguished from Malaccau individuals 

 collected by the late Mr. Maingay, and noted by him as being 

 females, excepting that the wing is slightly shorter and the 

 secondaries are not so broadly margined with white. It agrees 

 completely with Dr. Hartlaub's diagnosis (/. c.) of G. concretus. 

 Dr. Hartlaub {torn, cit.) described two distinct species from 

 Borneo : the one he referred to G. fasciatus, Vieill., a title given
