172 BIRDS OF THE 



mandible red, inside of mouth and tongue black, naked part 

 round the eye scarlet; feet grayish blue, sometimes tinged 

 with green, soles ochraceous. 



Hab, Throughout Borneo, in the plains as well as in 

 the mountain-forests. Count von Berlepsch, in his above 

 quoted paper, was the first who stated the constant diffe- 

 rence of the Bornean specimens from those from Malacca 

 and Sumatra, which hitherto had been united under the 

 specific name of Ramphococcyx erythrognathus. The principal 

 differences consist in the shape of the nostrils, which are 

 oblong in the Bornean specimens while they are circular 

 in the birds from Sumatra and Malacca, and in the length 

 of the red terminal part of the central tail-feathers which 

 is constantly less in Bornean birds than in those from 

 Sumatra and the Malay Peninsula. The length of wing and 

 tail, said by von Berlepsch to be inferior iu Bornean birds, 

 does not differ constantly in the rich material at hand from 

 Borneo and Sumatra. 



Count von Berlepsch, iu his above quoted paper, also 

 mentions the reasons why he re-unites the genera Ram- 

 phococcyx^ Rhinococcyx and Urococcyx, and Dryococcyx with 

 Fhoenicophaes, and I fully agree with the view based upon 

 his arguments. I also confirm the difference in the sex of 

 the present species, which holds well in all the numerous 

 specimens which I have collected and sexed myself during 

 my stay in Borneo, although this is not the case with the 

 three specimens from the Upper Mahakkam, which are 

 probably wrongly sexed by von Berchtold.
