I have not been able to compare typical Sulu birds with 

 those now sent by Mr. Everett, but I have little doubt as to 

 their identity with Dr. Blasius's species. lole haynaldi is 

 altogether a darker and greener bird than /. everettij the 

 dark-coloured wings being an especial feature, from their 

 want of the yellow colour which is a strong character in 

 the last-named species. The ear-coverts are also dusky olive- 

 brown instead of tawny olive. I. haynaldi also has the fore 

 neck dark olive-green, whereas in /. everetti the fore neck 

 is tawny like the throat.
