A single example of this rare Kingfisher was obtained by 
Mr. Buxton. The extreme rarity of the species has prevented 
me comparing it with typical and Malaccan specimens.

Sumatran, Malaccan, and Bornean examples do not differ. 
Are not examples with the chestnut plumage, washed with 
green, immature birds, of both sexes, in transition from the 
dark green of the young to the full dress of the adult, rather 
than representatives of the adult female form only, as stated 
by Mr. Sharpe (l. c.) ?
