DUTCH BORNEO-EXPEDITION. 253 



An adult male, from Pontianak, an adult male and female, 

 both similar in color, obtained in May at Nanga Raoen, 

 an immature male with red tail but the red on the head 

 not yet fully developed from Smitau (Dec. 9^^) and a young 

 male from Poelau, Sibau R. (April 15^^). Four specimens 

 from the Upper Mahakkam. The specimen from Poelau 

 has, in strong contrast to the adult birds, the upper sur- 

 face olive-green and the white lower surface, and especially 

 the sides of head and neck, very strongly washed with yellow. 

 A few red feathers are making their appearance on the 

 olive-green crown, while on the tail the red color is more 

 strongly developed. — The iris in the adult birds is brick- 

 red, the upper mandible brown, the lower whitish, feet 

 pale flesh-color; in the young bird the iris is gray, the 

 lower mandible yellow. 



This species is found round the native settlements, very 

 often together with the following species. In the jungle 

 and high forest it was never observed. 



Hab. The Indo-Malayan region, Java excepted, and the 

 Philippines. In Borneo it seems to be a rather common 

 bird over the whole island.
