A female (N°. 698) from the western slope of Mount 

 Liang Koeboeng, March 22<^ 1894. — Iris dark brown, 

 bill black, lower mandible whitish at the base, mouth in- 

 tensely yellow, feet sooty brown. 



This specimen agrees in every respect with a specimen 

 in the Leyden Museum, collected by S. Muller in the high- 

 lands of Western Sumatra. Both these specimens have the 

 bill obviously larger than our three specimens from the 

 Continent, but this diSerence I do not consider as suffi- 

 cient to base a new species upon. 



Hab. Eastern Siberia, Himalaya Mountains, Burma, Su- 

 matra, Palawan and Borneo. On tbe latter Island it has 

 been collected on Mount Mulu by Mr. Hose's hunters.
