Six adult males and a nestling of the same sex, and 
five females in more or less fully developed dress, all 
obtained in the mountain-forests of the Liang Koeboeng- 
range, not below 800 meter. — Iris dark brown, bill 
black, feet in fresh specimens purplish, in dry state pale 
brown, but by far not so whitish as in our typical specimen. 
This species is allied to S. banyumas, having the lower 
surface entirely orange rufous, the centre of the abdomen 
only being white in some specimens, but it differs from 
the latter in having the black chin-spot very small and 
the moustaches dark blue instead of blackish. Much more 
important than between the males the difference is between 
the adult females. In S. banywmas the adult female much 
resembles the male in color, but is provided with a conspicuous 
white loral spot and instead of the large black chin-spot 
and ditto beard-stripes these parts are rufous like the rest 
of the under surface. The adult female of S. coeruleata 
agrees with that of S. banyumas as to the want of a dark 
chin-spot, but the upper surface is not entirely blue like 
in the male, but olive-brown, with a darker, more grayish 
1) Dr. Sharpe includes Java in the geographical distribution of this species, 
probably on account of a female in the collection of the British Museum, but 
for the above developed reasons I guess that the specimen in question is an 
immature female of 5. danyumas. 
2) The female of S elegans mentioned at the quoted place will very likely 
prove to belong to the present species (see my remarks on this subject antea 
ander the head of S. elegans).
