A great series, collected at Ptoema Manoeal, Mount 

 Kenepai, Mount Liang Koeboeng, Poelau, Poetoes Sibau, 

 and on the Upper Mahakkam. — The color of the iris 

 differs much in the different specimens, but this difference 

 must be considered to be absolutely individual, and not 

 due to either sex or age, as, for instance, out of two adult 

 males both obtained on the same place and at the same 

 date, one has the iris bluish white, while in the other it 

 is blood-red. Amongst the specimens collected in Borneo, 

 there are some with the iris pure white, bluish white, 

 orange-yellow, orange-red, fiery red and blood-red. The 

 bill is pea-green (» plantain-green" as I called it in my 

 annotations), lower mandible (with the exeption of the 

 green tip) and the lower corner of the base of the upper
