PITTA SANGHIRANA (Schlegel). 

 (Plate LXV.) 



Pitta sanghirana, Schlegel^ Nederl. T. v. Dierk. iii. p. 190 (1866). 



Schlegel remarks as follows : — 



^^ Pitta atricapilla sanghirana. 



" Mr. von Rosenberg recently sent us an adult male specimen of a Pitta, 

 which was killed on the island of Sanghir. This example approaches in size 

 Pitta melanocephala from Borneo, and only differs from it by its green colours 

 being darker and less lively, and the metaUic tints of the wing and tail-coverts 

 being of a darker and less silvery bluish-green colour. In fact, Pitta atri- 

 capilla^ P. horneoensis^ P. sanghirana, and P. philippensis (which latter only 

 differs by its somewhat smaller size) are so like each other that they could 

 well be regarded as isolated forms of the same type."
