30 Mr. A. H. Everett on the 



blackish spots on the centres of a number of the feathers. 

 Comparing this series with skins of P. muelleri from N.W. 

 BorneOj I find that two of the latter^ both males and shot at 

 Lumbidan in May 1892 and July 1893 respectively, have the 

 thighs sooty blacky but a female, also shot at Lumbidan in 

 July 1893, has the thighs uniform ochraceous brown, and 

 several specimens from the western part of Sarawak exhibit 

 as light a plumage as this hen-bird from Lumbidan. In 

 very young birds the colour of the thighs is uniform dark 

 grey. Mr. Whitehead {' Ibis,' 1893, p. 499) has noted that, 

 in addition to the character of the abdominal patch, P. atri- 

 cupiUa is distinguished by the metallic colour of the shoulder- 

 patch and rump-band being deeper and of a silvery blue.

The iris in the adult male is pure crimson-lake, in the 

 female indian-red, and in the young bird a paler tint of 

 indian-red; bill ivory-white; bare skin on the head bluish 

 white j feet dark olivaceous grey ; claws dark grey. The 

 three birds from which these notes were taken were shot 

 together on Dec. 27, 1893.
