from Borneo are fully characterized, and there are no authentic instances of its occurrence 
elsewhere, there being also a good series of both young and old of both kinds in the Leyden 
IMuseum, it is entitled to separate specific rank. The points of difference between the 
species are as follows :— in M. chrysojpsis the ear-coverts and cheeks are black, sides of the 
occiput pure cobalt, forehead shining sulphur-yellow, and moustachial stripe yellow; in 
M. chrysopogon the ear-coverts and cheeks are brown, sides of the occiput spotted with 
scarlet as in the centre, forehead grey, and moustachial stripe golden. 
Nothing is recorded of its habits, and it is as yet a decidedly rare bird. 
The figure in our Plate was drawn from a specimen in our own collection, obtained 
from Borneo, and represents an adult bird in full plumage. It has never been previously 
figured.
