 almost forming a round patch of red, as in L. vernalis.

This is one of the most common species in the forests east of 

 Malacca. The carmine colour on the vent is in the female greatly 

 mixed with white, and the sides of the vent with ashy brown, 

 the external and terminal lower tail coverts are almost wholly 

 ashy brown ; the white tips to the outer tail feathers are consi- 

 derably less freckled with black in the $ than they are in the $ . 

 One $ has one of the central tail feathers wholly brown, another 

 has them tipped black, almost quite as much as in the male. 



5. Harpactes Kasumba, E, a f f 1. ? 

 Gould, B. Asia, pt. VIII. 



A female specimen shot by my collector in the "Wellesley Province 

 is intermediate between the figures of the females of Kasumba and 

 fasciatus, as given by Gr o u 1 d. The head is darkish brown, occiput 

 behind, neck and back dark rufescent brown, very indistinctly and 

 minutely barred across with dark, purely rufescent brown or rather 

 yellowish brown on the vent and on the upper tail coverts. Wings 

 black, all the superior coverts and tertiaries with light brown cross 

 bars, as in typical Kasumba, but the bars are decidedly broader, (while 

 they are almost minute in fasciatus) ; primaries (except the first) very 

 distinctly edged with pure white ; two central tail feathers wholly 

 brown (as in fasciatus,) next black, but brown along the quills, 

 on the extreme outer edge and near the tip ; the third is black 

 with a brown quill and outer tip ; the other outer tail feathers are 

 black, broadly tipped with white which increases externally, the 

 outer web of the outermost feather being almost wholly white;
