FROM WESTERN SUMATRA. 23 



the name of H. Hartlauhii has been applied whenever this 

 species is mentioned as coming from somewhere else than Java. 



In another young male, from Banka, the red on the 

 occipital feathers occupies only the bassal portions , the tips 

 being left fawn-color, and these very worn-looking feathers 

 are already for a great deal replaced by the young gray 

 ones of the adult stage, without any beginning of the 

 appearance of the red feathers on the crown. 



All other characters , as differences in the size, and the 

 coloration of the other parts, as under surface and rump , 

 are quite accidental and hardly able to base a species — 

 not even a local variety or difference in age or sex — upon.
