“Tris chestnut; bill black, bluish at base, feet greenish 
lead or greenish yellow.” 
The two adult birds do not differ materially from others 
from the south of the Malay Peninsula, having the ear coverts 
pure black, hardly tinged with blue. The Bornean form has 
been separated by Parrot, (op. cit. p. 171), under the name, 
Megalaema duvaucelt borneonensis, on account of its alleged 
larger size and brighter colouration, but no exact details are 
given.

‘‘Tris chestnut, orbital skin crimson lake; bill black, 
whitish at base; feet coral pink.” 
The Coppersmith was abundant in open country and 
garden land throughout the length of the Korinchi Valley, 
but, as in other countries that it inhabits, was not found 
in old forest. 
Parrot (loc. cit.) correctly recognising that the type 
locality of the species is the Philippine Islands has separated 
the bird from East Sumatra on the strength of a slightly 
shorter wing measurement and an ill defined difference of tint 
in the greenish grey of the upper surface which may be 
largely due to the age of the plumage. 
The differences in size of our West Sumatran series do 
not bear. out Herr Parrot’s remarks; his small and unsexed 
series from East Sumatra had a wing length of 71-74 mm. and 
a tail of 40-42 mm., averaging 72.3 and 41.3 mm.; 12 adult 
males in our collection vary from 83-78 and 43-38 in wing and 
tail, averaging 79.6 and 40.7; 6 females range from 80-75 and
