A young male, procured in March, has nearly completed 

 his moult, but still retains a few feathers of the old brown 

 plumage. The blue is less bright than in the adults, and 

 has a greenish tinge. The female shot iu January is 

 much browner than the bird of the same sex killed in March, 

 the latter being decidedly greyish. 



[On my first expedition I only procured a single imma- 

 ture male at about 1000 feet on Kina Balu, but on my second 

 journey this bird was fairly plentiful throughout February and 

 March, at about the same elevation. The males procured on 

 the 24th and 26th of March were in most beautiful plumage, 

 and had evidently assumed their full nuptial dress before 

 flying northwards. They are of course only winter visitants 

 to Northern Borneo. Iris, bill, and feet black.]

I have already (/. c.) alluded to these specimens. The 

 species was quite new to Borneo when Mr. Whitehead first 

 met with it. 



[I only came across this beautiful species on my first ex- 

 pedition to Kina Balu, when I procured a pair at about 4000 

 feet elevation. Both sexes had the iris and bill black, and 

 the legs greyish blue.] %
