Differs both from the Xorth Bornean C. montis Sharpe 

 (Ibis, 1887. p. 442: id., op. cit., 1889, p. 203, pi. VIII, fig. 1) 

 and the Malayan C. davisoni Sharpe (P.Z.S. 1888, p. 271). 



From the former differs in the very much darker green 

 back and rump, the yellow rump-band almost obsolete; and 

 from the latter in the slightly darker upper parts and very 

 much narrower black stripes in the sides of the head. 



Types. Adult made and female collected at Bandar Baroe, 

 Deli, N". E. Sumatra on 26th December, 1918 bv Heer A. C. A. 

 van Heyst [Collector's Nos. 1316, 1317]. 



Wing, $ , 54 ; ? , 50.5 mm. 



The two specimens of C. montis show the paler coloura- 

 tion of the back noted in the description of C. davisoni but the 

 heads of the specimens are not in such condition as to enable 

 us to state definitely whether there is any difference in the 

 tone of the head or extent of the superciliary stripes, though 

 the latter appear to be even less distinct than in the Sumatran 

 form. 



Specimens compared: — Two from Borneo, six from the 

 Malay Peninsula and two from Sumatra.
