224 OX A COLLECTION OF BIEDS [1872. 



Ibis, 1872, Identical with Malaccan examples. The young birds are fairly represented in Temminck's 



P plates. The young of both sexes arc in similar plumage. The bill is black in the dried 



specimen.

"Simunjon, $ , iris yellowish, bill blue, legs purplish; ? («u. juk.), iris yellow, bill blue, 

 legs pinkish." 



The young bird has little or no black on the throat, which, with the upper breast, is white ; 

 remainder of under surface yellow, a few new vinous feathers appearing on the breast. Black 

 collar wanting. Frontal plumes yellow. 



A Penang example in perfect plumage has the black collar interrupted on the breast. 

 According to Sir Stamford liaffles this is peculiar to the female ; and in the adult authentic 

 female examples from Simunjon the collar is likewise interrupted, being almost absent.

Examples from Malacca, Banjermassing, and Sarawak do not differ. 



The sternum alluded to by Mr. Sclater (Ibis, 1872, p. 178) and figured (p. 179. fig. 3) 

 belongs to a Boruean example of this species and not to Eurylahnus jucunicus. 



Ibis, 1872, Pityriasis gyjixocephalus (Temm.), PI. Col. 572, "Borneo" (1835). 



p. 371. 



" Marup, 2 , iris dark brown, legs pinki.sh white." 



Colour of soft parts in the mule is not noted. Females seem to differ from males by having 



most of the abdominal and ventral feathers edged with carmine. The wing of this remarkable 



species is long and powerful. The first quill is about two thirds of the length of the second, 



which is three fourths of an inch shorter than the third ; the third is equal to the fifth, the 



fourth being a little the longest. The tail is short and even. The first quill has a round white 



mark at its insertion, on the inner web. In the next six quills this white mark expands and 



forms a broad wliite bar on tiie inner webs. It is wanting on the secondaries. One, a middle 



rectrix of a female example, is crossed by a dingy, obscure, carmine mark. In all the other 



examples the rectrices are uniform dark slate-black.
