present known an adult male (the type) and an immature 
male. As noted in the original description, it is, however 
by no means improbable that the species will prove to be 
identical with Cyornis ruecki Oustalet, Bull Soc. Philomath.

We have compared these and many other specimens 
from Sumatra and three from the Malay Peninsula with 
paratypes of Cyornis vivida, Swinh. (Ibis, 1864, p. 63) 
from Formosa. The only differences we can detect are a 
slightly larger size in the Sumatran and Malayan birds, 
which have the orange of the under parts with less of a 
chestnut tinge and not running up into the throat in a point 
as it does in the Formosan birds. Both the Malayan and 
Tenasserim bird C. oatesi Salvad., can therefore only be 
regarded as not very distinct subspecies.
