PARADISEA. 

 Burong Dew att a. ct*tgj c^t 



All the species of this genus are natives of the Papuan archi- 

 pelago, whence they are occasionally brought alive. I have had 

 in my possession living individuals of the common species, the 

 P. apoda. They were fed on grasshoppers, and lived with me 

 several months. I have specimens of the P. sanguinea Viell., 

 whose description is very exact, as is also the figure, with the 

 exception of the wings, which are represented too short. They 

 are, in fact, nearly as long as the true tail. In the specimen 

 from which Viellot's figure was taken, the wings were wanting ; 

 which will account for this little inaccuracy. 



CORVUS. 



CORVUS Corax, Linn. 



Gag ah of the Malays, jflf 



This is not uncommon in the interior, but is scarcely ever seen 

 on the coast near Bencoolen. 



The other species belong to the short-tailed division, which 

 has been separated from the true Corvi, under the name of 

 Myiothera. . ggHgjj
