312 Lord Tweeddale on Birds from 



and colouring of the rectrices, in wanting a distinct brown 

 cap, and in the brown snbterminal tail-bands being indistinct 

 and obscure^ and the pale apical bands being narroAver and 

 ill defined. It is more nearly allied to P. flaviventris, bu+ 

 diflFers in having a longer stouter bill, by being of a much 

 darker, less yellow, green above, and by the possession of 

 subterminal brown spots on the rectrices, a character which 

 is seemingly never present in P. flaviventris. I have com- 

 pared it with twenty examples of P. flaviventris from loca- 

 lities ranging from Rangoon to Bootan, and with nine spe- 

 cimens of P. familiaris.

Sumatran individuals do not differ from typical and Bornean 

 examples. True O. sepium extends to the island of Madura. 

 0. edela is the Javan form of 0. sutorius, but wants the white 

 lores and superciliary stripe of the continental species.

 a black lorum and ocular stripe.
