So far ay we can tell from the single specimen the separa- 

 tion of the S'imatran from the Malayan form under Bona- 

 parte's name founded on one of S. Mueller's birds presumably 

 from Sumatra is well justified. Our specimen differs from 

 typical S. affinis in the much darker and more sooty black cap, 

 darker ear coverts and pronounced cinereous breast band. The 

 bill also appears larger.
