 We do not for a moment believe that any form of the 

 Javan Bliinococcyx curvirostris occurs in Sumatra. Parrot 

 does not mention the form of the nostrils of his sub-species 

 which is practically the only difference between the Javan 

 and Sumatran birds but which is generally regarded as of 

 generic and not merely specific value.

Besides the difference in the colour of the bill, which in 

 the male is black and in the female light corneous, the former 

 sex has the head and throat more strongly washed with brick- 

 red, though never approaching the Bornean form C. fiiligino- 

 sus (Temm.).
