2 specimens (cT, 9)- 



»Iris brown, bill blackish, feet bluish gray. Native 

 name : ?" 



This species seems to be rare in Sumatra , as it is not 

 recorded from that Island since S. Muller, from whom one 

 specimen is contained in our Museum collection. Since Prof. 

 Schlegel's Catalogue is issued , the Museum has also received 

 specimens from Banka and some more from Java and Borneo. 

 The male of Dr. Klaesi's specimens (both in adult dress and 

 with fully developed crest) has the throat but slightly 

 tinged with fulvous , which color is very strongly pronounced 

 in the female. 



47. Eudy namis orientalis.

 neo, p. 68 (1874). 



1 specimen (young cf). 

 ))Iris carmine. Native name: Temhono (Javan)." 

 As the question about the different races , united by 

 Prof. Schlegel under above name , is still far from defini- 

 tively settled , I prefer to enumerate the Sumatran bird 

 under this name rather than under that of E. malayana.
