having the crown, upper tail-coverts, and tail strongly tinged

This species also is generally distributed throughout the 

 Peninsula from the above mentioned locality, which is the 

 northernmost recorded, to Gunong Angsi in Negri Sem- 

 bilan. It is not met with in the low country nor, on the 

 other hand, at great elevations, where the genus is repre- 

 sented by ^. anoniala or yE. wruyi.

We have not as yet ourselves obtained this species from 

 Trang, but have before us a pair of the typical series col- 

 lected by Dr. Abbott on Khau-nom-plu, a mountain in the 

 State about 3000 feet high. 



The species differs from jE. wrayi, of the mountains of 

 Perak, Selangor, and Pahang, only in lacking the yellow 

 rump-band. The females of the two species are indistin- 

 guishable. /E. saturata, with which its describer compared 

 it, is a very much larger bird than ^. anomala.
