232 OX BIRDS FEOM NOETIEEEN BORNEO. [1872. 



procured from some part of northern Borneo *. They belong, as Mr. Elliot was the first to point 

 Ibis, 1872, out, to a species totally distinct from the Malaccan Arijiimaiu^ anjiis (Linn.). The dimensions of 

 the Boniean yhv/KS are considerably less. The feathers of the nape, back of the neck, the inter- 

 scapulars, and tlie scapulars have black for their ground-colour, the markings being pure white. 

 In A. argus the ground-colour of these feathers is brown, and the markings are ochreous. The 

 markings in the Bomean species are of a different character, and are most minute and delicate. 

 The throat, upper breast, and centre of the lower breast and of the abdomen are bright 

 ferruginous, whereas in the Malayan species these parts are deep ruddy chocolate. The markings 

 are quite different, and many are white. The other differential characters given by Mr. Elliot 

 are not very apparent in Mr. Everett's examples. The oceUated marks on the scapulars are 

 certainly smaller ; but I can find no difference in the colouring or marking of the lateral rectrices. 



The following are some of the dimensions, viz. : — 



inches. 



Longest primary, from carpal joint 13'50 



Middle pair of rectrices 44*50 



Longest outer pair of rectrices 1900 



EuPLOCAMUS NOBiLis, Sclater, P. Z. S. 1863, p. 119, pi. xvi. 6 , " Borneo ;" Elliot, Phasianidoe, 

 pi. xxvii. 



Two female examples ; no note of the locality, but probably from the neighbourhood of 

 Sarawak, where Mr. AVallace also obtained an example {Jide Sclater, /. c). The hen of this 

 species is distinguished from that of E. ignitus (Shaw) by the rectrices being dark brown or black.
