is more nearly allied to P. flaviventris, but differs in having a longer stouter bill, by being of a 

 much darker, less yellow, green above, and by the possession of subterminal brown spots on the 

 rectrices, a character which is seemingly never present in P. flaviventris. I have compared it 

 with twenty examples of P. flaviventris from localities ranging from Eangoon to Bootan, and with 

 nine specimens of P. familiaris.

Sumatran individuals do not diifer from typical and Bornean examples. True 0. sepium 

 extends to the island of Madura. 0. edela is the Javan form of 0. sutorius, but wants the white 

 lores and superciliary stripe of the continental species.
