with metallic greenish, not rich violet as in more southern 
specimens. The rump also is paler, less orange, yellow, but 
these characters are not very constant

This species also is generally distributed throughout the 
Peninsula from the above mentioned locality, which is the 
northernmost recorded, to Gunong Angsi in Negri Sem- 
bilan. It is not met with in the low country nor, on the 
other hand, at great elevations, where the genus is repre¬ 
sented by JE. anomala or AE. wrayi.

We have not as yet ourselves obtained this species from 
Trang, but have before us a pair of the typical series col¬ 
lected by Dr. Abbott on Khau-nom-plu, a mountain in the 
State about 3000 feet high. 
The species differs from AE. wrayi , of the mountains of 
Perak, Selangor, and Pahang, only in lacking the yellow 
rump-band. The females of the two species are indistin¬ 
guishable. AE. saturata, with which its describer compared 
it, is a very much larger bird than AE. anomala.
