tail; only two of the inner greater coverts have the blue spots 
at the tip. 
Two other specimens from Malacca are precisely similar. 
Sumatra (Wallace). The male has the under tail-coverts 
reaching to the end of the tail itself. No blue spots on the 
inner greater coverts. 
Borneo. A specimen presented by Bajah Brooke has the 
tail-coverts reaching to the tip of the tail, and agrees both in 
this respect and in the absence of blue spots on the coverts. 
Banjermassing (Motley). Agrees with the foregoing ex¬ 
ample in both respects. 
Lastly, both Mr. EveretPs birds have the long tail-coverts, 
but show a small blue spot on the innermost coverts. 
Of course nothing but adult males have been compared. 
I have little hesitation in keeping the Sumatran and Bor¬ 
nean birds distinct from the Malaccan; but the question 
now to be settled is their identity with the Javan Irena tur- 
cosa of Walden.

This specimen has a much more robust bill than any of 
the others from various. localities with which I have com¬ 
pared it.
