Dicaeum chrysorrhoeum Temm. PI. Col. IV, pi. 478, fig. 1 (1829); 

 Salvad. Ucc. Born. p. 168; Everett, L. B. Born. p. 139; Sharpe, 

 Ibis 1889, p. 429. 



Two specimens obtained at Sanggau (Westenenk) and 

 at Smitau, also from the Upper Mahakkam. — Iris red, 

 gray or dark orange, bill and feet black. The difference in 

 the color of the iris seems to be individual. 



1) Mr. Everett, in his List of Birds of' Borneo, doubts the occurrence of 

 Dicaeum flammeum in Borneo as being not thoroughly stated by any good 

 evidence, and for this reason omitted it in his list. Although not having 

 obtained the species myself, I am much pleased to state that the collections 

 in the Leyden Museum contain many specimens of this species, collected in 

 South-Borneo by authorities as Schwaner and Semmelink.
