212 Mr. E. C. Stuart Baker on [Ibis, 



with head ; below deep ferruginous, but with a golden sheen 

 on some of the feathers of the lower breast and abdomen, 

 never found in ochracea. 



Wing 50-56 mm. Average 22 specimens, 53 mm. 



I can trace no difference in colour or size between 

 specimens from Borneo, Sumatra, Malay Peninsula, and 

 Siam and those from Java; but there are very few 

 specimens from the latter locality, and it may be, as 

 Hartert says, that a series will show them to be smaller 

 and with a smaller bill than those from elsewhere. 



Habitat. Borneo, Sumatra, Java, the Malay Peninsula, 

 as far north as Kossum and thence east up the Peninsula 

 into south-west Siam, as far north and east at all events 

 as Maprit, whence birds were obtained by Mr. E. G. 

 Herbert. 



Hargitt's everetti is merely the young bird of abnormis 

 with the underparts olive-green. There are, however, here 

 and tiiere young feathers of the adult rufous colour, showing 

 distinctly what the bird really is. 



Sasia abnormis magnirostris. 



Sasin abnormis mayjiirostris Hartert, Nov. Zool. viii. 1901, 

 p. 51 : Nias. 



Differs from S. a. abnormis in having a bigger bill, with a 

 depth at base of 6 mm. as against 4-5 in that bird. 



There are no specimens of this subspecies in the British 

 Museum.

I cannot discriminate between more than two additional 

 geographical races of this Barbet — i. e., a larger northern 

 and a smaller southern form. There appear to be no 

 constant differences in colour which can be considered sub- 

 specific ; depth and shade of green, comparative darkness 

 of head, and extent of striation appear to be purely 

 individual,
