HARPACTES DUVAUCELU (Tenuninck) 



Trogon duvaucelii Temminck, Nouveau recueil de planches coloriees d'oiseaux, 

 livr. 49, pi. 29, 1824 (Sumatra). 



Two males and one female, BangTiara, Patani, July 6, 1926; one 

 male, Kao Luang, Nakon Sritamarat, July 17, 1928; one female, 

 Sichol, Bandon, May 23, 1930; one male, Kao Chong, Trang, Septem- 

 ber 2, 1933; one female, Kao Soi Dao, Trang, January 22, 1934. 



Dr. W. L. Abbott collected one immature male, Kao Nom Plu, 

 Trang, February 25, 1897, and purchased a male in Penang said to have 

 come from the Province of Wellesley. He notes the color of the soft 

 parts as: Iris dark bro-wn; upper eyelid blue; bill blue, black along 

 the culmen and at the tip; feet blue. The specimen is not fully adult, 

 however, and some of these colors may change at maturity. 



There seem to be no constant differences in color between speci- 

 mens from the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Banka, and Borneo. 

 Sumatran bii'ds are somewhat larger than mainland specimens, but the 

 series from the former is small. A good series from Borneo is very 

 close to the mainland bird in size. 



Wings of seven males from the Malaj^ Peninsula measure 99-103 

 (101). Two males from Sumatra and two males from Banka, 103.5- 

 109 (106.5). Eight males from Borneo, 94.5-102.5 (99.9) The 

 species ranges from Borneo, Banka, and Sumatra to the Malay States 

 and northward through Peninsular Siam to southern Tenasserim. 

 Kobinson and Kloss^^ report it from as far north as Tasan, Chumpom, 

 in Peninsular Siam. De Schauensee^^ collected two males and three 

 females from Nakon Sritamarat; he compared them with specimens 

 from Sumatra, Borneo, and Johore and states that the Sritamarat 

 specimens are more scarlet below.
