1870. ] A Contribution to Malayan Ornithology. 287 



in the brushwoods near the coast of the Wellesley Province and at 

 Malacca, I hardly ever saw the two sexes ( $ , JPkcenicoph. viridirostris, 

 Eyton, or Buhutus Isidorei, Less., and $, Ph. chlorophcea, 

 Kaffl.) together; neither have I seen any of the birds with 

 intermediate plumage. 



The species is very common in the Wellesley Province, and of 8 

 specimens from that locality (3 $ and 5 2) none has the wing more 

 than 4f", mostly only 4J" ; tail 6i"-7" ; bill at front 1", from gape 

 I j 5 /; tarsus r.

Does not appear to be common ; a male has the tarsus 1£", wing 

 very nearly and the tail fully 8 inches, which is slightly in excess 

 of the measurement noted by J e r d o n, but it agrees with that 

 given of the female.
