Common in Trang, on Terutau and Langkawi and also on 

 the Butang Archipelago further west, extending as far south 

 as Penang Island. In the Malay Peninsula is a littoral and 

 open country species not found in heavy forest.

" Iris, bill and feet black." 



Abundant along both coasts of the Peninsula, from 

 Singapore to the extreme north, but never, so far as my experi- 

 ence goes, at any distance from the sea. Possibly because, 

 like many of the family, this species likes sunny, open spaces 

 and flowering shrubs.

 December 1916. [Nos. 3743-4, 379I-] 



"Iris dark, upper mandible black, lower yellowish 

 brown, feet dark brown." 



Rare on Langkawi, fairly common on Terutau among the 

 mangroves and on bushes in open country bordering heavy 

 jungle. 



Comparison with topotypical specimens of the true Ac. 

 siparaja (Raffles) from West Sumatra, confirms the differences 

 already noted between these forms and in addition it would 

 appear that in Ac-s. cara the metallic feathers of the crown 

 extend further back, almost to the level of the ear-coverts.
