the eye ; angle of the gonys and base of throat and eyelids mottled black 

 and white." 



In the female the gular and orbital skin is probably black. Mr. Elliot 

 states that the skin on the throat is yellow. 



Length about 35 inches, tail 13, wing 14, tarsus 2, bill from gape 5 "2. 

 The female is very little smaller. The crest in both sexes is very thick and 

 long, measuring as much as five inches in length. 



The Bushy-crested Hornbill occurs in the south of Tenasserim from 

 Bankasoon up to Nwalabo mountain. 



It extends down the Malay peninsula, and is found in the islands of 

 Sumatra and Borneo. 



According to Mr. Davison this species is not uncommon in Southern 

 Tenasserim, but is very wary and difficult to approach. It is strictly arboreal 

 and probably feeds on nothing but fruit.
