1863. J SPECIES OF PHASIANID^. 119 



Easily distinguished from the two following species by its white 

 side-stripes. Specimens of both sexes were obtained at Malacca by 

 Mr. Wallace. 



3. EupLOCAMUs IGNITUS. (Latham's Fire-back.) 



Phasiamis Ignitus, Lath. Ind. Orn. Suppl. p. Ixi. 

 Gallus macartneyi, Temm. Pig. & Gall. iii. p. 663. 



S . Niger, purpurea splendens : dorso imo igneo-ferrugineo : late- 

 ribus pallide castaneis, nigra variis : rectr. 4 mediis albis. 



$ . Brunnea, subtus plumis albo variegatis. 



Sab. Probably Sumatra. 



There are specimens of this bird in the Leyden Museum and in 

 the British Museum ; but in neither case is the exact locality known. 

 Macartney's original specimen was procured at Batavia ; but Mr. 

 Wallace tells me there is certainly no form of this family, except Gallus 

 and Pavo, in Java. In this species the flanks are pale chestnut, 

 varied with purplish black ; the middle of the belly is black, and 

 the four intermedial rectrices are nearly white, as in E. vieillati. 



4. EuPLOCAMUs NOBiLis, n. s. (Bornean Fire-back.) (PI. XVI.) 



Euplacamus ignitus ex Borneo auct. 



S • Niger, purpurea splendens : dorso pastico et lateribus cum 

 ventre lata saturate castaneis : rectricibus quatuor mediis et 

 proximcB utriusque pogonio interna cervinis. 

 5 . Brunnea, subtus albo variegata. 

 Hab. Borneo. 



There are two specimens of this bird in the British Museum from 

 Borneo ; and in the Leyden collection is an example from the same 

 locality. The species closely resembles the true E. ignitus, but is 

 readily distinguished by its fawn-coloured medial rectrices and wholly 

 chestnut belly. One example in Mr. Wallace's collection was ob- 

 tained at Sarawak. 



5. EuPLocAMUs swiNHOii. (Swiuhoc's Pheasant.) 

 Euplacamus swinhoii, Gould, P. Z. S. 1862, p. 284. 



c? . Niger, metallice purpurascens : crista media et dorso sumtno 

 niveis : scapularibus badiis : rectricibus duabus inter mediis 

 albis, ceteris nigris : alis extus cEneis : cera et pedibus rubris. 



$ . Brunnea, nigra vermiculata : ventre puriare : alis nigris, 

 brunnea fasciatis. 



Hab. Formosa {Swinhoe).
