Two examples, both of joung birds. Entire head, chin, and throat dark blue. Breast and 

 abdominal region dark ashy, paler on under tail-coverts. Remainder of plumage brown. 

 Identical with Malabar and Burmese individuals. Mr. Ball, who has compared adult birds, seems 

 to consider the Andaman form distinct from II. aznrea.

" S. Andaman, j ? : iris dark brown ; bill and feet black." 



Of six examples three are adult males, two adult females, and one a young male in yellow 

 and grey plumage here and there turning to deep orange. They belong to the same group as 

 P. speciosus, but are much smaller in size, their chief if not sole distinguishing character. 

 P. ardens, apud nos, from Sumatra, Malacca, and Borneo, belongs to the same section, but is still 

 smaller and more deeply coloured.
