))Iris ashy gray, bare skin round the eyes blood-red, 

 bill sea-green, feet blackish. Native name: Bunai andu." 



Prof. Schlegel, in his above cited Catalogue of the Cu- 

 culi, erroneously applied the name Phoenicophaes Diardi 

 to the Indian and Ceylonese specimens of -R/iop. mVic?zVosfWs 

 (Jerd.) and united the true Ph. Diardi (Less.) with Ph. 

 sumatranus (Raffl.), supposing that the brown vent and 

 under tail-coverts would only be an individual character 

 (»les sous-caudales ordinairement d'un rouge-brun qui se 

 repend quelquefois sur le ventre, mais cette teinte se 

 trouve , dans certains individus , et independammant du 

 sexe et de I'age, remplacee par du noiratre").
