Mr. Everett sends a series of seven individuals, four in adult and three in immature plumage' 

 The dimensions of the male and female are alike ; and this is the case in a larger series obtained 

 by Dr. B. Meyer {I. c). Count Salvadori (Ucc. Borneo, p. 70) has united the larger C. affinis 

 (Horsf) with the smaller C. javanensis (Dumont), on the ground that they respectively represent 

 the two sexes of the same species. If this is correct, C. affi)iis is an exception to the rule of p.z.S.1877 

 equality in size which prevails among all the other knowii Asiatic species of this genus. P- ^^-• 

 Moreover Bernstein has shown that the two Javan birds differ in their anatomical structure 

 [conf. Walden, Trans. Zool. Soc. viii. pp. 56, 60) [cintea, pp. 158, 162]. 



24. BUCEROS HYDROCOE.\X (66). 



[Monte Alban. 6 : iris red ; bill red ; nails dull black ; orbital skin yellow ; feet brownish 

 red.] 



The whole of the back and shoulders of the two examples obtained by Mr. Everett are 

 smeared with an olive-yellow powder, seemingly taken from the oil-glands at the root of the tail. 

 Mr. Elliot (Monogr. Bucerotidse, pt. ii.) countenances the erroneous statement of the older 

 authors that this Hornbill also inhabits the Moluccas. 



25. Penelopides manill^e (69). 



[Monte Alban. d : iris crimson ; orbital skin and base of mandible white ; bill dark 

 brown ; the casque transparent horn-brown ; the oblique bars on the maxilla ochre-yellow ; feet 

 and nails dull black ; fruit in the gizzard.]
