Mr. Whitehead-'s male specimens are exactly the same as 

 Sumatran P. cameranoi, and they exhibit the slight differ- 

 ences from P. ceralatus to which I drew attention last year 

 (P. Z. S. 1888, p. 276), viz. the blue-black gloss on the head, 

 and more decided pink on the flanks. These differences are, 

 however, not constant, and I do not see how the Tenasserim 

 and Sumatran specimens are to be kept separate. The 

 females are not different either, for the fulvous colour on 

 the throat extends to the chin in the Bornean birds ; but one 

 of the latter has a pale throat just as in a Tenasserim 

 skin, and the fulvescent throat seems to me to be a sign of 

 immaturity. 



[Met with from 4000 to 9000 feet ; fairly common at the 

 latter elevation, where it haunts the low weather-beaten trees 

 in small parties. They sit on the lower boughs, hopping 

 sideways when moving, every now and then leaving their 

 perches to pick an insect off the leaves. They have a very 

 hawk-like look, sitting with the head sunk low on the 

 shoulders, and are quarrelsome with other birds, always 

 driving them off. Iris pale bottle-green ; legs light pink. 

 Upper half of upper bill black, rest and lower mandible pale 

 blue.]

It is rather curious that no one has noticed the difference 

 in the colour of the feet in the Bornean bird. Mr. Wiiite- 

 head was the first to point it out to me.
