Schlegel, and one is figured in my Plate, and this specimen I formerly considered an 
adult female. І am inclined now to regard it as not having altogether assumed its 
complete plumage, and although it might not attain the brighter dress of the male, yet I 
rather imagine, when arrayed in its full seasonal attire, that there would not be so great a 
contrast between the sexes as is here exhibited. 
Mr. Sclater, J. c., gives Borneo as one of the habitats of this species, but on what 
authority is not stated. The Bornean ally of this Pitta is a much more brilliantly 
plumaged bird, and seems to represent a separate species. Should both forms be found 
in Borneo, it would rather cast a doubt upon the value of their specific distinctness.
