ON CARPOCOCCYX RADIATUS AND C. VIRIDIS. 99 



Moreover in this species the back and wing-coverts are 

 of a vivid green , the sides of the neck and the crop grey. 



Besides the old female (Cat. N\ 1) figured in the PL 

 col., from Poatianak (Coll. Diard 1826), the Leyden Mu- 

 seum possesses another old female (Oat. N°. 3) collected 

 by Dr. Nieuwenhuis on the Loug-Bloe , a branch of the 

 upper Mahakkam , Central-Borneo (October 1896), and an 

 old male (Cat. N°. 2), collected by Mr. Hose in the in- 

 terior of Sarawak and presented by him to the Museum. 

 The female N°. 3 shows faint dark green apical margins 

 on the feathers of the rump , and therefore this part is 

 not so distinctly barred with dark ; but both sexes are 

 precisely alike , in size as well as in colours. 



»Irides grey, with a narrow brown outer circle; bill, 

 feet and the naked space round the eye oilgreen" : Dr. 

 Nieuwenhuis. Diard describes the naked part round the 

 eye as »red" and accordingly this colour is used also in the 

 PI. col. and our type to it. Mr. Hose got this fine Cuckoo 

 in the interior of Sarawak (Mt. Dulit, Baram district and 

 Kalulong) and gives only the following short notice: »a 

 very rare bird, only found on the ground. Native name 

 »Kruai Manang" (Ibis, 1893, p. 415)." Dr. Nieuwenhuis 

 remarks only: » contents of stomach remains of beetles 

 and other insects; native name »Manok bawai" (M.S.).
