Six males and three females were collected on Mount 
Kenepai, from 17—30 January 1894. Most of the males 
are in transitional stage, and none of them have assumed 
the full breeding plumage. The females are characterized 
by a white spot on the centre of the throat. — Iris dark 
brown, bill ‘black with the base of lower mandible whitish 
in the female, feet gray. 
Hab. Manchuria, North China and Japan, only a winter 
visitor in Borneo.

Thirteen specimens of both sexes, from the fledged young 
to the fully adult bird, obtained on Mount Kenepai, at 
an altitude of 600 meter, and in the thick primeval forest 
on the western slope of Mount Liang Koeboeng (800 
meter). 
As there is not yet published a full description of this 
species, and Dr. Sharpe having compared it, in his short 
diagnosis, with S. cyanea (Hume) ') from Tenasserim, which 
is very rare in collections, I venture to give here a more 
detailed description. 
Adult male. Upper surface deep indigo-blue, more 
lively on crown and upper wing-coverts, a broad frontal 
band extending above the eye cobalt-blue, lores and a narrow 
base of the frontal band black, wing black, all the quills, 
with the exception of the two outermost primaries, edged 
with the color of the back; central tail-feathers like the 
back, the outer pairs black on the inner and blue only on 
1) S. cyanea (Hume, 1877) has turned out to be S. concreta (Miiller, 1835), 
see N. L, M. Vol. XVIII, p. 221.
