Compared with S. chrysea from the Himalayas, the Suma- 

 tran species is much darker and more olive-green above. It 

 has a rather longer bill, and underneath is everywhere of a 

 deeper yellow. Mr. Forbes^s specimen is somewhat damaged, 

 but seems sufficient to indicate that /S. bocagii is only a 

 deeply coloured race of S. chrysea.
