Grant, but one, a male from Gunong Ijau, Perak, has the 
black subterminal bars on the secondaries quite as strong as 
in any of the Sumatran specimens. 
On the other hand three out of eleven Sumatran specimens 
have these bars very faint, agreeing with the majority of the 
Malayan birds, though the tail appears to be rather shorter, 
not exceeding 180 mm., whereas the tail of C. robinsoni may 
surpass 200 mm. 
C. chinensis, from Tenasserim, which we have not seen, Is 
larger, having a wing of about 150 mm., whereas Sumatran 
and Malayan birds do not exceed 140 mm. 
C. thalassina, from Java, is quite a different bird, with no 
uniform green tail and the inner secondaries with the outer 
feathers greenish with no trace of black or chestnut. 
C. robinsont, Grant, can therefore only be maintained as a 
somewhat thin subspecies based on average characters only.
