64 BULLETIN 98, UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM. 
Adult female, No. 170979, U.S.N.M.; Pulo Siantan, September 6, 
1899. ‘Feet black.” 
Adult female, No. 171056, U.S.N.M.; Pulo Manguan, August 31 or 
September 1, 1899. ‘Bill black, brownish beneath at base; feet 
black.” 
Juvenal female, No. 171097, U.S.N.M.; Pulo Jimaja, September 18, 
1899. 
The two adult males are identical except for the more golden shade 
of the metallic green crown, the more violet throat, lower back, and 
rump, and the lighter shade of red on the breast and upper abdomen 
in the type; but these differences are of course merely individual. 
These males are in molt about two-thirds to three-fourths com- 
pleted. The immature male (No. 170975, U.S.N.M.) is still almost 
half in the olive green and olive yellow juvenal plumage, which 
closely resembles the adult female, though darker and duller above. 
This bird is in process of molt, and the posterior upper and lower 
parts and tail are wholly, the breast, upper back, and wings partly, 
in the adult plumage. 
The two adult females (Nos. 170979 and 171056, U.S.N.M.) are in 
nearly completed molt. The immature female (No. 171097, 
U.S.N.M., taken, September 19, 1899) is very much like the adult 
female, but is considerably darker above, and on the breast has 
obscure narrow dusky bars. It apparently has not yet begun to 
molt into the adult plumage. 
Doctor Abbott reported this sun-bird common at Telok Ayer Bini, 
on Pulo Siantan, September 5-6, 1899; and on Pulo Jimaja, Sep- 
tember 17-28, 1899. 
Measurements of the four adults are as follows:
