Immature female, No. 171101, U.S.N.M.; Pulo Jimaja, September 
22, 1899. 
All of these specimens, excepting the single immature female (No. 
171101, U.S.N.M.) and two of the immature males (Nos. 170982 and 
174855, U.S.N.M.), are more or less in progress of molt. The adult 
female from Pulo Siantan, taken, August 24 (No. 170983, U.S.N.M.), 
is in badly worn and much faded plumage and had just begun to molt. 
Some of the adult males have the back, cervix, and pileum almost 
wholly metallic violet, but this seems to be an individual variation 
that appears in all the forms of Anthreptes malacensis. 
Doctor Abbott noted this species common on Pulo Siantan, August 
19 to September 6, 1899; on Pulo Jimaja, September 17-28, 1899; and 
also observed it on Pulo Telaga, September 14-15, 1899. 
The measurements of all the adults obtained by Doctor Abbott are 
given in the subjoined table.
