[Sandakan. Iris brown. Legs and wattles chrome yellow, brightening 

 to orange in middle of patch on side of head; basal part of beak reddish, 

 graduating into yellow toward the tip. Rather common. Its note is a 

 strong mellow whistle. Feeds on berries and small fruits. Near a camp- 

 ing place in an old clearing a pair used to come each evening just before 

 dark and alight, on the dead stub of a tree, where they kept up a whistling 

 until it was rather dark and then crawled into a hollow to pass the night. 

 — C. F. A.]
