are short, but the form apparently agrees with the typical 
Javan bird, of which we have a large series of good specimens 
available. As already noted by Ogilvie Grant (loc. cit. 
supra), the Malayan Peninsular bird is quite distinct, 
differing from the Javan form (nine specimens compared), 
in having the outer tail feather rackets very long and 
narrow, tapering gradually towards the base, instead of 
terminating more or less abruptly. Maximum breadth about 
13 mm. against over 20 mm. in the Javan series.

“Tris carmine, bill clear pinkish horn, feet slaty or 
greenish slate.” 
Confined entirely to the cleared country and orchard 
land on the floor of the valley where it was exceedingly 
common, its clear flute-like whistle constantly heard. 
The sexes apparently differ but slightly in colouration, 
the male being more orange and having the inner webs of the 
inner secondaries deeper black, and the yellow on the outer 
webs more circumscribed and clearly defined. 
Buttikofer (Joc. cit.) has confused the present species 
with the continental form O. indicus (O. diffusus, Sharpe), 
which can be at once distinguished by the fact that practically 
the whole of the outer web of the inner secondaries is yellow,
