A. B. c. d. ^ $. Java. From Dr. Horsfield's Col- 
lection. 
Inhabits Java, Sumatra, Malayan peninsula, the Nicobars, Lom- 
bock (Wallace), and has been shot at Labuan by Mr. Motley. 
Mr. Dilwyn, in his " Nat. Hist, of Labuan," remarks : " In a letter 
I have received from Mr. Motley, he thus speaks of this species : 
' I think that there is no doubt that this lovely little bird feeds almost 
entirely on honey : three or four of them frequent all day long a 
beautiful plant of Busselia juncea, just before my office-window, 
clinging to the slender twigs in all sorts of positions, and turning up 
the scarlet bells to insert their fairy little beaks. They appear very 
sociable little birds, never passing one another without putting their 
beaks together with a little chirp. If any one comes too near, off 
they go like meteors, but are back in a minute.' "
