The appearance in Borneo of an Ixidia allied to I. cyani- 
ventris is an event of some interest, as adding another species 
to the avifauna of the island. I have described the present 
specimen as new to science, although undoubtedly closely 
allied to the Malaccan I. cyaniventris. It is, however, cer¬ 
tainly larger, and is brighter in colour, especially on the 
wing-coverts, which have bright golden-yellow margins : the 
hoary eyebrow is much more distinct in consequence of the 
anteocular feathers and the ear-eoverts being blackish. The 
whole tone of the grey colour of the head and underparts is 
darker, the sides of the face being black, which is not the 
case in the Malayan representative. The wing of the latter 
bird, of which I have four specimens before me, does not 
exceed 2*85 inches.

Mr. Everett sends a single specimen in winter plumage; 
and this is the first authentic occurrence of the species in the 
island of Borneo. Count Salvador! enters it in his book as 
a bird likely to be met with, as it has been killed in many 
of the surrounding islands.
