The two males have the wing, 105, 110 mm. and the 
females 108, 111 and are slightly darker than two females 
from Trang and Selangor which have the wings 116 and 113 
mm. A slightly immature male shot in November on Pulau 
Jemor, Aroa Ids. in the middle of the Straits of Malacca has 
the wing 113 mm. 
Oberholser (Joc. cit. p. 642) considers the species as 
“strictly resident’’ but it is probable that like many other 
purely intertropical species it performs migrations of limited 
range. I am therefore inclined to doubt the validity of the 
race established for Sumatra (East and West), and Banka, EF. 
coromanda neophora, Oberholser (loc. cit. p. 646). So far as I 
am able to judge from an adult male shot on 9th October, 
1915, at Sungei Pelandok, Paku Seribas, S. W. Sarawak, the 
Bornean race, H. c. minor (Temm. and Schleg.) is quite 
separable from the typical form by its rich, darker colouration, 
the upper surface more strongly washed with lilac, and 
slightly smaller size. I have not as yet been able to examine 
good specimens from Singapore Island, which is stated by 
Oberholser to be inhabited by this form. 
The species occurs also on Tioman but specimens from 
that island are too immature to identify subspecifically with 
any certainty.
