66 ON A COLLECTION OF BIRDS 



The second specimen , a female with entirely black bill 

 (like in young black Thrushes only the edges and inner 

 surface of the mandibles are yellow) is, on account of 

 this character, certainly a young bird. The point of the 

 bill is not as strongly bent downward as in adult speci- 

 mens , the tail is decidedly shorter (probably not fully de- 

 veloped), measuring only 8,5 cm. instead of IL, while 

 wings and tarsi are as long as in adult specimens. The 

 purplish white tips to the median wing-coverts, as well as 

 the metallic edgings to the feathers on upper and lower 

 surface i are entirely wanting , but the lower wing-coverts 

 ,show the same peculiar white patch as the adult, both from 

 Java and Sumatra.
