The above specimen is more striped on the breast than 
are ordinary examples,, the bird most approaching this Bor¬ 
nean specimen being one collected by Mr. Cuming in the 
Philippines; all the others in the Museum are more or less 
uniform.

p. 257. 
a. “ No. 16. 6 . Puak Hill, Sept. 14,1874. Iris choco¬ 
late ; bill black; legs pinkish white. Not breeding.” 
This is a very interesting addition to the avifauna of Bor¬ 
neo. Having compared this specimen with TemminclCs 
plate, I came to the conclusion that it agreed ; but the figure 
does no justice to the beauty of the species. 
44. Anthreptes malaccensis (Scop.) ; Saivad. 1. c. p. 178. 
a. “No. 48. d. Sibu, Jan. 7, 1875. Iris brick-red; legs 
greenish.” 
b. “ $ . Sibu, Jan. 16,1874. Iris brown; legs greenish.” 
Another female killed in January is described as having 
the iris “ brick-red;” so that specimen b is doubtless a young 
bird. This is also apparent from the bill, which is pale 
brown instead of blackish.

a. “No. 104. cf. Sibu, Jan. 18, 1875. Iris chocolate.” 
b. “ $ . Matu Beach, May 8,1874. Iris dark chocolate.” 
46. Dictum trigonostigma (Scop.); Saivad. 1. c. p. 166. 
a. “No. 204. Jambusan, Sept. 16, 1874. Iris raw 
sienna ; bill black; legs dark leaden colour. Pairing.” 
b. “ 6 . Jambusan, Sept. 10,1874. Iris grey-brown; legs 
brown.” 
The second specimen is a young male, which I have had con¬ 
siderable difficulty in determining. Mr. Wallace obtained 
a similar male bird in Malacca, but did not identify the 
species; moreover I have never seen an authentic female of 
this Dicceum. I have, however, been enabled to determine 
a female Malaccan bird in the British Museum from Count 
SalvadoiPs description, and I therefore characterize this sex as 
follows:—
