on the occiput is fully developed, while not a trace of it has appeared on the t h r o a t ; and, on
the other hand, a very immature specimen of the latter has the scarlet strongly developed
on the throat, while the occiput is still tinged with green. In size M. humei is rather the
larger of the two.
The specimens of M. humei which we have seen have all come from Borneo, whereas
M. mystacophanus is found in Penang, Malacca, and Sumatra, as well as Borneo, and very
rarely, apparently, in the latter island; for the only skin we have seen from that locality was
one brought home by Mr. A. It. Wallace.
The Variegated Barbet is a very handsome bird, and apparently common; it is to be
seen in most of the public museums; and our own collection possesses four examples.
The Plate and description are taken from specimens in our own collection; and the
former represents an adult and a young bird. It has not been figured previously, as far as
we are aware.
