I can find no colour-characters differentiating the three 
forms. 
Cyanops duvaceli robinsoni, subsp. nov. 
There appear to be three forms of this little Barbet :— 
C. d. duvaceli. Black ear-coverts ; well-developed black 
patch on breast ; wing about 75 mm. 
C. d. cyanotis. Blue ear-coverts ; no black spot on breast ; 
wing about 82 mm. 
C. d. robinsoni. Ear-coverts mixed black and blue; black 
spot on breast, small; wing about 76 mm. 
Type. No. 88. 11. 30.338, g. Ex Hume coll., British 
Museum. 
Type-locality. Klang, Malay Peninsula. 
Habitat. Malay Peninsula and peninsular Siam and Burma. 
I name this bird after Mr. H. C. Robinson, the well- 
known Ornithologist of the Federated Malay States. 
PiTTA C@RULEA HOSEI. 
Male a slightly darker blue above than Pitta cerulea 
corulea ; the chin and throat dark vinous-brown instead of 
whitish; lores, ear-coverts, and sides of the head darker 
and ies squamated. There is only one specimen from 
Sumatra in the British Museum series which approaches 
this bird, and that is a very dark skin of great age which 
was, originally, mounted. Even in this latter, however, the 
chin and throat are whitish. These differences \ may 
eventually prove to be more or less individual, but such 
is not the case with the female, which could not possibly 
be confounded with typical cwrulea. 
Female different from the female of Pitta cerulea either 
from Sumatra or the Malay States. The colour of the 
head is much richer brighter brown, and the black consists 
of tiny black edging to the feathers instead of black bars. 
Type, 3 et 2, 1900.2.14.61-2. 
Type-locality. Mount Dulit, Sarawak, Borneo. 
The two types are a pair collected by Dr. Charles Hose on 
the 14th of November, 1898, and I have named the bird in 
his honour.
