This gorgeous sunbird is almost entirely confined to the 

 mangrove zone where in certain localities it is very common. 

 We have it from Penang ; Pulau Pintu Gedong, Selangor Coast ; 

 Pulau Tinggiand Pulau Sri Buat, East Coast. Malay Peninsula. 



For the inconvenient change of name from the more 

 familar Ch. insignis cf. Oberholscr, Smithsonian Misc. Coll. 60,

1916. [No. 3792]. 



Oberholser (loc. cit.) has pointed out that though the 



locality is erroneous Gmelin's Motacilla singalensis is the first 



name for this species and must be used and he has designated 



Malacca as the type locality. 



C. phoenicotis (Temm.) PI. Col. 108, fig. 1 ; 388, fig. 2 

 (1824), type from Java, is available as a name for the Indo- 

 Malayan bird from Java, Borneo and Sumatra if separable, 

 which on comparison of birds from Selangor with one from the 

 West Sumatran coast appears not to be the case. 



The Continental bird, except that from "Malacca" is at 

 present without a name, but the adult bird from Terutau above 

 listed and a female from Bandon appear to differ from Southern 

 Malayan specimens in having the yellow of the lower surface 

 decidedly brighter and less green and the rufous of the throat 

 and upper breast somewhat lighter and not carried so far down. 

 Wing about 53 mm. in the specimens above mentioned.
