Northe7-n Portion of the Malay Peninsula i 71 



Burma, Assam, and Palawan, and find that the differences 

 as noted by Dr. Hartert, viz. the much richer colouring of 

 the upper and lower surfaces, are fairly constant. Curiously 

 enough, a specimen from the type-locality of the subspecies, 

 Gunong Tahan, is paler than any of the others. 



The form is separated from I). coraUipes of Borneo by 

 its brownish-black feet, and from D. ^nochlamys of some 

 of the Philippine Islands by its red, not greenish beak, the 

 uniform back and mantle, and the absence of a white loral 

 spot,

In the southern half of the Peninsula it is scarcer, being 

 only seen in numbers on the coast in the vicinity of the 

 fishing villages. 



From Perak southwards to Johorthe Slender-billed Crow, 

 Corvus enca Horsf., occurs, but is very rare, only three or 

 four specimens having been obtained.

 not so common as in some of the more southerly districts. 

 Known to Malays as the Imrong kambing (goat-bird) from its 

 harsh call.
