* In the present state of our knowledge these scarlet sunbirds are difficult 
to arrange in species. In some respects mystacalis and si para ja seem closer 
than do mystacalis and temmincki, but mystacalis and siparaja occur together 
in West Java. 
s Good series of this bird are available for comparison, from Sumatra, 
Borneo (including topotypes of ' * i perrettV t ) and the Malay Peninsula and 
I cannot make any separation, in either sex, on colour, or size. In old skins 
the red parts of the plumage are usually paler than in recently collect ly 
specimens. In the British Museum, old skins from Mt. Dulit are paler than 
the newer material collected by Messrs. Harrisson and Hartley, 
1 This is a very distinct species. Its nearest relative is, perhaps, A , 
nipalensis.
