[Fairly comnaon in old forests, where it frequents the 

 lower branches of high trees in shady places. This species 

 reaches an altitude of 4000 feet on Kina Balu, but is scarce 

 at that elevation. 



One native name " Bintarrang." 



Iris black ; bill and feet dull yellowish brown.]

The Green Broadbill of Sumatra and Borneo is fairly 

 distinct as a race from the Himalayan P. dalhousice on 

 account of its more pronounced white collar, and may be 

 separated as P. psitt acinus (S. Miill.). The sexual difference 

 in the colour of the nape-spot recorded by Mr. Whitehead 

 does not seem to have been noticed by any previous writer, 



[Speaking of one of my Kina Balu specimens, sent to 

 Leiden, Mr. Buttikoffer says : " Our typical specimens of P. 

 psittacinus have the collar less broad than in your Bornean 

 bird. A young one has none ; in others it is very distinct, 

 but only in one, also from Sumatra (which I believe to be 

 very old), is it nearly as broad as in your Bornean specimen. 

 "We have also two specimens from the Himalayas, and both 

 have the collar yellow instead of white.^^ So perhaps 

 Miiller^s name of P. psittacinus should hold only for the 

 Sumatran and Bornean species, and that of P. dalhousim for 

 those of the Himalayas.
