 Aethop^fja Temmincki Everett, L. B. Born. p. 185; Sharpe, Ibis 1889, 



p. 421 (first description of the female). 



An adult male and two adult females from the western 

 slope of the Liang Koeboeng range, and an adult female 

 from Mount Kenepai. Here may also be remembered the 

 adult male, observed on the summit of Mount Kenepai and 

 mentioned in ray general introduction (N. L. M. 1897, p. 13). 

 This species is a mountain form, representing the lowland- 

 form A. siparaja in the higher regions of Mounts Kenepai 

 and Liang Koeboeng. The female of the present species, 

 for the first time described by Sharpe (see above), is easily 

 distinguished from that of A. siparaja by the orange-red 

 outer edgings to the quills and tail-feathers, and by the 

 shorter tail, measuring only 2,5 cm. instead of 3,3. The 

 No9 999 and 1000 from Liang Koeboeng are probably 

 matched male and female, shot together on a high tree. — 

 Iris dark brown, bill black, lower mandible paler, feet 

 brown. 



Hab. Sumatra and Borneo. On the latter island found
