i. Tenasserim (Packman). Five outer rectrices marked 
with white, being all but the two centre ones. 
k. Tenasserim (Packman). Tailimperfect, but all the fea- 
thers marked with white, except the two centre ones. 
1. Tenasserim (Packman). Four outer tail-feathers marked 
with white. 
m. Siam (Mouhot). All but the two centre feathers marked 
with white, the spots, however, decreasing towards the centre 
_ of the tail. 
n. Camboja (Mouhot). Three feathers on one side and 
four on the other marked with white. 
o. Saigon. Three outer rectrices marked with white. 
It will be evident from this that the white spot on the tail- 
feathers is a very variable character; nor does difference of 
age seem to account for this variation. Specimens from the 
same locality are not always marked in the same way; but 
those from the more northern localities seem to carry a greater 
number of white marks, as arule. ‘The only Bornean speci- 
mens in the collection tend to bear out Count Salvadori’s 
characters,—a young bird having a uniform tail, with nothing 
but a faint white shade near the apex of the inner web of the 
outermost rectrix ; this cannot-be called a spot; but an adult 
bird has a decided spot on the outer tail-feather, and a faint 
one on the penultimate one: but in neither of these specimens 
is the mark so distinct as in the Malaccan examples.

Count Salvadori states that one of the females in the series 
collected at Sarawak by the Marquis Doria and Dr. Beccari 
had a tinge of rose-colour on the abdomen. The old female 
shot by Mr. Everett has a strong tint of rose-colour on the 
breast, and is otherwise coloured like the male, excepting that 
the plumage is duller, the tail not so long, and the rosy tint be- 
low is confined to the upper breast. The other female sent
