 rivers and marshes. Their food consists of insects 

 and worms ; at times they feed also on berries and 

 fruits. 



Tlie t}^ical species is — 



The Collared Eurylaimus (Eurylalmus ochromalus), 

 described only from stuffed specimens. 



Sir Stamford Raffles says, " Tlie Eurylaimus Javan- 

 icus frequents the banks of rivei's and lakes, feeding on 

 insects and worms. It builds its nest pendent from the 

 branch of a tree or bush which overhangs the water." 

 Mr. Horsfield found it in Java, in one of the most dis- 

 tant and inaccessible parts, covered with extensive forests, 

 and abounding with rivers and marshes. Nothing further 

 is known of the habits of these birds.
