Seven specimens from Mount Kenepai, the Siniai Valley, 
Nanga Raoen and the Sibau River, and ten specimens from 
the Upper Mahakkam. — A lowland-species, living in low 
jungle and in the undergrowth of high forest. — Iris grayish 
blue, bill black, feet grayish black. 
There is, amongst my specimens, considerable difference 
in the metallic color of the head, which is steel green in 
some specimens and glossy purplish blue in others. The 
two specimens with the glossy green heads are a little 
larger and paler green than the others. These differences 
seem to be independant from sex and locality. A young 
female has the head green like the rest of the upper surface. 
Hab. From Tenasserim down the Malay Peninsula to 
Sumatra, Java, Borneo and Labuan. In Borneo it is spread 
over the whole island.
