Specimens of this bird in the Leyden Museum are from Java and Borneo. 

 Lesson's authority for its occurrence in New Guinea is perhaps hardly 

 trustworthy.

According to Midler, tbis Hornbill is the only one which extends to New 

 Guinea, being also found in Amboyna, Gilolo, Coram, Rawak and Waigiou. 

 It appears to have been confounded by Lesson with Buceros plicatus, a 

 Javan species.
