feathers edged with crimson. A young example of an authentic 

 specimen of jE. miles, in my collection, wears an almost similar 

 garb. Some Malaccan examples of immature males (mus. nostr.) 

 have the throat streaked with yellow, the plumage of the neck 

 and back being brown and crimson mixed.

Since writing on this species (?, c.) I have received many 

 examples from Malacca and Borneo. They in no way diiFer.

 "Belilah*, iris crimson, legs and feet black; Sabu, $ ." 

 The adult male perfectly agrees with a large series of Malaccan 

 individuals, which I refer to the Sumatran species. I do not 

 venture, from want of a sufficiency of Javan examples, to iden- 

 tify the Malaccan with the Javan Calornis, the single authentic 

 Javau individual I have examined appearing to be separable. 

 Adults of both sexes agree in colouring.

 Agrees with Malaccan, Javan, and Celebean examples.

The examples sent by Mr. Everett are unfortunately without 

 labels, but they were undoubtedly procured from some part of 

 northern Borneo f- They belong, as Mr. Elliot was the first tc 

 point out, to a species totally distinct from the Malaccan Argu- 



* I am not certain wlietlier I have correctly deciphered the spelling of 

 this locality.
