the genus in the comparative shortness and the greater solidity 

 and strength of the bill. The prominence, which is somewhat 

 squarish, is rounded at top and truncated in front. 



In Major Farquhar's collection of drawings, made at Malacca, 

 is one of this species taken from a living specimen, which ap- 

 pears to differ in some respects from the description of that con- 

 tained in the British Museum, particularly in having the two 

 middle feathers of the tail more than twice as long as the rest. 

 'J 'hey are all white, and crossed by a black band near the tips. 

 On the throat below the bill is a loose, naked, red skin. The 

 naked space round the eyes and the legs are also reel. The iris 

 is orange-coloured. The head is black, with a spot of reddish- 

 brown on the sides behind each eye. 



This species is called Toko j/y ; and Burong Gading £j JT l,^ 

 in Sumatra ; and Tibbang Mantooa Uii« £-J at Malacca. 



5. BUCEROS Malayanus. 



In a paper (already quoted) sent by Major Farquhar to the 

 Asiatic Society, and accompanied by drawings and specimens, 

 is an account of several species of Hornbills found in the neigh- 

 bourhood of Malacca. Among these is a species very nearly 

 resembling the B. coronatus of Africa. 



It is about the size of a Raven, and is particularly distinguished 

 by a white stripe extending from behind each eye to the back 

 of the neck, and so encircling the head. The bill is yellowish- 

 white, and surmounted by a moderate sized crest, which 

 slopes gradually in front to the curvature of the bill. The 

 whole of the body is black, with the exception of the stripe 

 above mentioned, and the tips of the three outer tail-feathers 

 ou each side, which are also white ; the middle ones are black 

 to the ends. The legs are of a greenish colour.
