[Suanhxmba River. Iris pale yellow. Similar in habits to T. luisica, 

 preferring open places where fruit-bearing bushes grow. — C. F. A.]

 ( Suanlamba River. Iris golden yellow. Usually found on the ground 

 in dense iungle. When startled it rises with a strong noisy flight, per- 

 liaiis to stop an instant on a low branch, take a hurried look at the in- 

 truder, and then disappear. It seems to feed on fallen fruit knocked oil' 

 by monkeys, Ilornbills, etc. — C. F. A.]

P- 134- 

 [Kinabatangan River. Iris and legs carmine. This fine Pigeon is v>^\y 

 common and of general distribution. It may usually be found feeding in 

 the same trees with the Hornbills, and what with the noise of their wings 

 as the members of a large flock fly from branch to branch and the constan, 

 rain of the fruit which is knocked off, they can be heard at a considerable 

 distance. Sometimes while feeding, a monkey will go dashing toward 

 tliem, causing them to rise with a whir, but after circling about a few times 

 they re-alight in a safe place. As monkeys are numerous in Borneo, and 

 many of them actually feed in the same trees with the Pigeons, it seems, 

 considering the abundance of the latter, that in this locality at least nion 

 keys do not seriously interfere with them. — C F. A.] 



ORDER GALLINyE. 



Family PiiAsiANiDyE. 

 So. [Argus grayi. 



Malay name, Cliozv-h o-i. Of pretty general distribution, seeming to 

 prefer the hilly, broken regions. Although this bird may freqwentiy be 

 heard, it is very difficult to procure, either by means of the gun or in 

 snares which as a rule are very effective in taking other gallinaceous 

 birds and small mammals founii in the same regions. The Malaj' name 

 somewhat resembles its notes, when the second S3'llable is strongly ac" 

 cented and prolonged. The tone of its voice is much like that oi' oui- 

 domestic peacock. — C. F. A.]
