Five examples of this new subspecies were procured at 

 one of the higher camps on the Utakwa River at an 

 elevation of 8000 ft. Unfortunately, no particulars re- 

 specting the colours of the soft-parts nor any other details 

 regarding them have been noted. All were procured by 

 Ohunggat, o]ie of the Dyak collectors, from the Kuala 

 Lumpur Museum. . This man and Jagat did signal service 

 on both the B. 0. U. and Wollaston Expeditions, procuring 

 many of the novelties met with. 



The British Museum possesses the t,ype-specimens of Oreo- 

 psittacus frontalis Reichenow, which were collected by 

 Emil Weiske above the Aroa River at an elevation of 

 6000 ft. This is a very distinct form from 0. grandis
