 " Iris greyish hazel, bill, tarsi and eyelids vermilion, 

 claws greyish horn." 



This handsome Kingfisher was fairly connm .11 on Langkaw 1 

 and ver)- abundant at Telok Wau, Terutau, though it was not 

 met with outside the narrow littoral belt of mangrove. It has 

 not as yet been recorded from any locality east of the Malay 

 Peninsula, and Langkawi is its southernmost limit. In my ex- 

 perience, even when alarmed it is a very much more silent bird 

 than others of its congeners. Total length 365 mm.

This species does not appear to occur in any part of Siam 

 proper or in French Indo-China. In the Peninsula it is very 

 widely distributed but nowhere at all common.
