Six males and three females were collected on Mount 

 Keuepai, from 17 — 30 January 1894. Most of the males 

 are in transitional stage, and none of them have assumed 

 the full breeding plumage. The females are characterized 

 by a white spot on the centre of the throat, — Iris dark 

 brown, bill black with the base of lower mandible whitish 

 in the female, feet gray. 



Hab. Manchuria, North China and Japan, only a winter 

 visitor in Borneo.

Thirteen specimens of both sexes, from the fledged young 

 to the fully adult bird, obtained on Mount Kenepai, at 

 an altitude of 600 meter, and in the thick primeval forest 

 on the western slope of Mount Liang Koeboeng (800 

 meter). 



As there is not yet published a full description of this 

 species, and Dr. Sharpe having compared it, in his short 

 diagnosis, with S. cyanea (Hume) ') from Tenasserim, which 

 is very rare in collections, I venture to give here a more 

 detailed description. 



Adult male. Upper surface deep indigo-blue, more 

 lively on crown and upper wing-coverts, a broad frontal 

 band extending above the eye cobalt-blue, lores and a narrow 

 base of the frontal band black, wing black, all the quills, 

 with the exception of the two outermost primaries, edged 

 with the color of the back ; central tail-feathers like the 

 back, the outer pairs black on the inner and blue only on 



1) 5. cyanea (Ilume, 1877) has turned out to be S. co^zcre^a (Miiller, 1835), 

 see N. L. M. Vol. XVIIl, p. 221.
