for the Javau bird, whilst a new one must be found for the 

 Sumatran. The titles sanguinolentus, Temra., PL Col. iii. 

 pi. 499, and rubropectus. Lesson, Rev. Zool. 1840, p, 274, 

 have also been applied equally to the black Orioles of Java, 

 Sumatra, and Borneo ; but the bird which Temminck figures 

 (/. c.) is an accurate representation of the Javan bird. 

 Wagler, in his original description (/. c), says, ^^ alarum tec- 

 tricibus superioribus majoribus extimis coccineo terminatis," 

 which applies to the Javan bird. Mr. R. B. Sharpe (Cat. 

 Birds, iii. p. 221) also described from a Javan specimen. 

 The Sumatran bird I propose to call 



Analcipus conSxVnguineus. (Plate I.) 



It differs from the Javan bird in having the general colour 

 glossy greenish black instead of bluish black, in having the 

 primary-coverts entirely crimson instead of only crimson at the 

 tips, thus forming a much larger alar speculum. It may also 

 be readily distinguished by the breast being nearly all crimson, 

 that colour in A. cruentus, of Java, being confined to a narrow 

 patch down the centre of the breast. The Sumatran bird is 

 slightly smaller. 



I have not had an opportunity of examining a specimen 

 from Borneo, and therefore am unable to say to which species 

 it belongs. 



The following specimens were procured in Sumatra by 

 Mr. Bock :— 



1 . ^ . Paio. Iris grey-blue (adult) . 



2. ^. Mount Sago. Iris vandyke-brown, 31st August, 

 1878 (apparently adult) . 



3. 4, 5, 6. cJ . ? Juv. Mount Sago. Iris brown, Sep- 

 tember 1878. 



7. ? . Lolo. 



8. S. 



Numbers 1, 2, and 8 are, apparently, adult males, although 

 the iris of 2 is noted as vandyke-brown. Number 7, being 

 nearly throughout of a glossy greenish black, must be an old 

 female, whilst 3, 4, 5, and 6 are, I think, young males, the 

 lower surface being greyish with a strong tinge of pink.
