 in. Colour green, yellower beneath, the nuchal and dorsal 

 feathers margined with brighter green ; forehead bright orange- 

 yellow, and a tinge of this colour at the base of the moustaches ; 

 crown, chin and throat, and a spot on each side of the base of 

 the fore-neck, also another at the base of each nostril, crimson ; 

 a spot below the eye, and gorget margining the crimson throat, 

 verditer-blue ; terminal portion of the primaries margined with 

 pale buff; the bill black. Inhabits the Malayan peninsula. 



B. ARMiLLARis, Teuimiuck (p. c. 8'J, f. 1). — Length about 7$

 Colour green, yellower below ; the forehead and supercilia bright 

 orange-yellow ; crown, chin and throat, verditer-blue ; a spot on 

 each side of the base of the fore-neck, and a half-collar on the 

 nape, crimson. Bill and loral feathers black. The young, as 

 described by Stephens, have all the plumage green or greenish, 

 shaded with bluish, and marked on the tip of the feathers of the 

 upper parts with bright green lunules ; the yellow on the head 

 and collar expands as the individual advances in age."* Inhabits 

 the Malayan peninsula, and Java (?). Specimens of this and of 

 the three preceding species, also of B. tiiinaculatus, are common 

 in the Malacca collections ; those of B. versicolor and B. trimacu- 

 latus, however, being much more numerous. 



B. ASiATicus ; Trogon asiaticus, Shaw ; Capito cyanocollis, 

 Vieillot ; B. cyanops, Cuv. ; B. candeus, Dumeril. Burra

* Stephens, probably describing from Temminck's plate cited above, 

 mentions a golden-yellow half-collar on the breast, which we have never 

 seen among numerous Malacca specimens examined. He gives Java as the 

 habitat ; and erroneously refers to this S]jecies the B. flavifrons, Cuv.
