Another specimen, more adult, has no label attached; the 
outer tail-feather has an obscure oblique spot of white. The 
Sibu specimen has two outer tail-feathers on each side dis¬ 
tinctly spotted with white. 
I have lately examined a bird from Saigon, in Cochin China, 
which was pale in coloration when compared with Malaccan 
examples; but I believe this to be merely the result of bleach¬ 
ing, as the parts not exposed to the light are of the normal 
colour. 
Count Salvadori has separated the Malaccan Cymbirhynchus 
from the Bornean one, as the latter is supposed to have no 
white spots on the tail. As we have a large series of these 
birds, I have passed them under review in order to test the 
characters of these two species, and give the following results. 
I may premise by saying that all the specimens marked C. 
affinis by Mr. George Robert Gray, are nothing but the 
ordinary species. Our examples are chiefly from Malacca ; 
but some show the extension of the range of this species into 
Camboja and Siam; so that Dr. Salvadori was naturally led 
to include these countries within the habitat of C. affinis (cf. 
Atti R. Accad. Tor. xi. p. 418). The following remarks refer 
to the Museum specimens 
a. $ . Sumatra (Wallace). Two outer tail-feathers marked 
with white. 
b. (5. Malacca ( Wallace). Three outer tail-feathers marked 
with white; wing-coverts tipped with small white dots (? re¬ 
mains of immaturity). 
c. Malacca. Two outer rectrices marked with white. 
d. Ditto. Ditto. 
e. Ditto. Ditto. 
/. Malacca (Harvey). Three outer rectrices largely marked 
with white. 
g. Malacca (Harvey ). Three outer rectrices marked, the 
spot disappearing on the third; a few wing-coverts terminally 
spotted with white. 
h. Malacca. Three rectrices marked with white ; spots on 
wing-coverts large.
