 keeping to high trees in forests, in parties of five or six, and never 

 descending to the ground. The note resembles that of Anthra- 

 coceros coronatus and is uttered at short intervals. 



Genus PTILOLiEMUS, Grant, 1892. 



Like Anorrhinus, but vrith the throat covered with feathers ; tail 

 more rounded ; feathers of crest, throat, and fore neck somewhat 

 lax in texture ; tail-feathers all tipped with white. There are two 

 species, both peculiar, so far as is known, to British territory east 

 of the Bay of Bengal.
