In the light of Mr. Stuart Baker's remarks it is evident 

 that the name Xantholaema haemacephala rafflesius will hence- 

 forth have to be applied to the Sumatran which are now- 

 shown to be, different from Philippine birds while we have 

 demonstrated that they are separable from the continental 

 form X. h. indica (Lath.).

 almost black with a very strong wash of crimson on the breast.
