Foui specimens are sent by Mr. Treacher, all adult, and exactly 

 similar in plumage. On comparing them, with Sumatran specimens 

 of I. mitrata, a very marked difference presents itaeK, which shows 

 that the Kina Balu bird belongs to a new species. Although similar 

 to I, mitrata ^xi its general coloration and white-edged quills, it is 

 distinguished at once by its chestnut ear-coverts, while the chin and 

 fore part of the cheeks are also chestmit. .

A specimen sent by Mr. Treacher. 



This is the second occurrence of the bird in Borneo, the first

 (Ibis, 1877, p. 13), from Mr. Alfred Everett's Biiitulu collection. 

 Mr. Treacher's specimen is in full blue-and-red plumage, with 'the 

 usual margins to the feathers found in the winter dress.
