 same colour, but the bill is strikingly longer and stronger. 



The iris is dark brown, and the bill and feet lead-colour. 



' A high mountain form on the Malay Peninsula. I am inclined to 

 think that there has been some mistake in the locality of the specimens 

 recorded by Mr. Bonhote (Joe. «/.)'
