Messrs. Cabanis and Heine, in their excellent account of the Trogonide in the ‘Museum Heineanum,

1 P. erythrocephalus as two distinct species, keeping the latter title for the

separate Pyrotrogon hodgsoni ant
but is smaller in every way, with a

Sumatran bird. They state that the latter is very like P. hodgsoni,
shorter wing and tail, the bill being a trifle shorter and stouter and brighter-coloured. As will be seen by
| h,’ the above remarks are very similar to those made by
able since the publication of that opinion, to add
