‘Tris lemon yellow, orbits sage green, bill orange scarlet, 
faintly tipped with black, feet brown.” 
The only one seen, in an orchard near the sea. 
There is a great deal of variation among the Indo-Malayan 
Nut-hatches belonging to this group, and several nominal 
species exist. 
The north Bornean species Dendrophila corallipes Sharpe, 
is separated at once by having the feet vermilion and not 
brownish, but all the others are very closely allied and differ 
mainly in the intensity of colouration above and below. 
The present bird is not nearly so richly coloured as the 
majority of those from the Malay Peninsula, which have been 
separated as Svitta frontalis saturatior, Hartert (Nov. Zool. ix, 
Pp. 573 (1902) ); but in the north of the Peninsula others are 
found which are equally dull coloured. (Robinson & Kloss, 
Ibis. 1911, p. 70). Apparently the more brilliantly coloured 
specimens are from the more heavily forested districts. Parrot’s 
race from Banka is not, we think. entitled to separation, the 
main character relied on being slightly greater size, in which 
it is practically equalled by the present specimen ; total length, 
123; wing, 76; tail, 48; bill from gape, 19.5; tarsus, 18 mm.
