Indicator archipelagicus (Tenim.) ; Shelley, Cat. Birds Brit. Mas., 

 xix.. p. 4 (1891) {partim.) 



Indicator malayanus, Sharpe, P.Z.S., 1878, pp. 794, 795 (Malacca) ; 

 Hume, Stray Feather;-, viii., p. 155 (Klaug). 



A single female specimen of a Honey Gruide was shot in the vicinity 

 of a bee's nest at Gintiug Bidei, 2,300 ft., on 13th May, 1908, by one 

 of the Museum collectors. 



Like the type of the species from Malacca and Hume's bird from 

 Ivlang, the present specimen lacks the yellow shoulder spot jn'esent in 

 both sexes of I. archipelagicus, so that the Peninsular form may well 

 lie regarded as distinct under Shai'j^e's name /. )uaJayanns. 



The bird before me, which is perfectly adult, agrees fairly well with 

 the type description, but has the breast strongly washed \f\i\\ dull 

 greyish aud is decidedly small. Wing 3.4 in. against 3.9 in.
