-+186. RUBIGULA WEBBERI. 



Rubigula icebberi (Hume) ; Sharpe, torn. cit. p. 171 ; 

 RobinsoUj p. 190. 



Fairly common at Traug. 



In the paper quoted above we stated tliat we had only seen 

 one specimen of this species from the Western Federated 

 Malay States, but before the paper had been actually issued 

 we had obtained some dozens of the species from two 

 widely separated localities, Temengoh in Upper Perak and 

 Ulu Gombak in Selangor, at altitudes of about 1000-1500 

 feet. The species is exceedingly fond of the fruit of certain 

 figs, and when such a tree bearing ripe fruit is discovered 

 any number of the birds can be obtained.
