The large series obtained is very uniform and all are 
fairly adult birds; there is evidence, however, that the young 
male has the malar stripe chestnut like the female and that 
the stripe changes to vellow gradually. 
The species is widely distributed over the hill ranges of 
the whole of Sumatra.

“Tris chestnut or Indian red, upper mandible blackish, 
lower bluish horn, feet plumbeous green or greenish brown.” 
Rare in the Korinchi Valley but very common indeed at 
Pasir Ganting among the Casuarinas fringing the sea. 
This series, though all are in very shabby plumage, agrees 
perfectly with the birds from the Malay Peninsula in having 
the back and mantle in the main green, therein differing from 
the Javan form, in which it is red. The bird from Nias, Ch. 
mintatum miasense, Buttikofer (Notes Leyden Mus. xvi, p. 169 
(1896)), curiously enough seems to be much more closely 
allied to the Javan form than to its geographical neighbour 
in Sumatra.
