Sir T. S. Raffles's Descriptive Catalogue 



Besides these, there are numerous species met with in capti- 

 vity, which have been brought from the more eastern islands, 

 such as the Psittacus Gigas, cristatus, sulphiireus, Dominicella, 

 &c, which it is unnecessary to particularize, as they are for the 

 most part well known. One of the most beautiful of these is the 

 P. cyanogaster : an individual of this species has long been a 

 familiar inmate of my house, and is remarkable for its extreme 

 degree of familiarity and domestication. It is always left at per- 

 fect liberty, and associates freely with all the other animals in 

 the house. It attends regularly at table, courts the caresses of 

 all, and shows an extraordinary degree of jealousy if the slight- 

 est attentions are paid to any other favourite. 



TROGON Kasumba. 

 Burong Kasumba. Uc«i 



&* 



Appears to resemble T. fasciatus. 



The bill is strongly notched near the point, not serrate, as in the 

 rest of the genus. This beautiful species is about ten inches 

 in length, and appears to vary somewhat in colour accord- 

 ing to age and sex. In the larger specimens the colours are 

 less bright. The back is there of a yellowish-brown ; the 

 lower parts yellowish mixed with red. The head and neck 

 are covered with filiform feathers, partly black, partly grey. 

 A whitish band divides it from the breast. The wino--coverts 

 are black, with white fasciae, which are wider and greyish on 

 the larger coverts. The remiges are black, with a narrow 

 edging of white on some of the feathers. The two upper tail- 

 feathers are fawn-coloured tipped with black ; the next black, 

 sometimes tipped with brown; and the lower ones partly 

 white. The bill is dark blue, approaching to black, short, 

 broad at the base, with a prominent arched keej above, 



strongly
