A specimen shot in Balabac had the leg coloured dull 

 brownish red instead of brown as in Palawan specimens. 

 The British Museum Catalogue, quoting Jerdon, gives the 

 soft parts as follows : — " Bill bright cobalt-blue ; legs sienna- 

 yellow ; orbital skin lemon-yellow ; iris light straw-colour.^^ 

 Oates notes the bill as " coral-red " in Burmese specimens, 

 and it is the same here in the Balabac-Palawan birds. In 

 the Balabac bird the bill is tipped with brown, and the 

 orbital skin is yellowish grey.

Mr. Whitehead has noted the iris of this species as dark 

 grey. Both in Palawan and Balabac adult male specimens 

 the iris is pure crimson-lake. Young birds have the iris dark 

 grey, and it passes through brown, orange-brown, and brick- 

 red until it attains the full depth of colour seen in the adult 

 birds.
