 [Suanlamba River. Iris brown. Legs dusky blue. Generally observed 

 on the ground but sometimes perched on the twig of a fallen branch or 

 hopping lightly along a log. The flight, as of the other species, is usu- 

 ally quite short, consisting merely of passing near the ground from one 

 slightly elevated position across pools of water to another. On dry 

 ground they may disappear by hopping away through the dense brush. 

 This beautiful species was sometimes found sitting on a log with point of 

 beak elevated, softly whistling a very mellow and musical strain. — C. F. A.]
