280 Mr. E. Hargitt on the Genus Chrysophlegma. 
Adult female. Differs from the adult male in having the 
upper parts deeper green, and the cross markings less regular 
and not so yellow; the red upon the wings rather duller; 
the rump dull green with yellowish cross markings, and the 
feathers slightly tipped with lemon-yellow; forehead and 
crown more dingy, the former minutely spotted with huff or 
huffy white; lores, space round the eye, and cheeks hlackish 
brown, spotted with huffy white ; from the chin to the breast 
deeper rufous, the chin and throat being thickly spotted with 
blackish brown and buffy white, the remainder having wavy 
cross markings of blackish brown and a few spots of buffy 
white, the sides of the neck having a few spots of red; under¬ 
parts lighter, the cross markings appearing darker : “ legs 
and feet pale dirty green, claws horny green; lower mandible 
bluish white, upper mandible horny black ; irides red; eye¬ 
lids dark grey” (W. Davison ). Total length 10*62 inches, 
culmen 1*1, wing 4*8, tail 2*6, tarsus 0*87. 
Young female. The Hume Collection contains two young 
females, one from Kossoom, May 23rd (/. Darling , Jun.), 
the other from Nealys, near Malacca, October 14th ( W ’. 
Davison). Neither of these are so young as the young male 
described, they are more rufous on the face, neck, and 
chest, but may easily be distinguished from the young of the 
opposite sex by the whitish spots on the forehead, lores, face, 
chin, and throat, these spots being partially edged with 
dusky. The specimen dated May 23rd has the underparts 
very similar to the adult bird, whereas the one obtained 
October 14th has the under surface of the body resembling 
that of the very young male, and is very probably a bird of a 
second brood. 
The specific differences between this bird and C. miniatum , 
from Java, have been already pointed out by Dr. Sclater in 
the ( Proceedings of the Zoological Society 9 for 1863, p. 211, 
and I think there can be no doubt that the bird having the 
back and almost the entire nuchal crest red is confined to the 
island of Java. Lord Tweeddale (Ibis, 1877, p. 289) states that 
he possessed an example collected in East Javaby Mr. Wallace, 
and marked a male, which he could not separate from true 
C. malaccense ) and, further, that Sumatran examples collected
