A single example of a Plotus in adult male plumage is in my possession, collected 

 near Menado. It does not appear to differ from Indian examples. P. novce-hollandice, 

 Gould, P. Z. S. 1847, p. 34, is not admitted as distinct from P. melanogaster by 

 Professor Schlegel. Mr. Gould relies on its shorter scapularies and larger size.
