"Iris red, orbits smalt; bill bluish liorn, lower mandible 

 yellowish ; feet coral pink". 



Total length 540 ; wing 265 ; tail 220 ; tarsus 91 ; bill from 

 gape 48 mm. 



This species was said to be common in the heavily wooded 

 area near Tasan, though we never came across it ourselves. Our 

 specimen was presented by Mr. L. Giacone, of the Siamese Department 

 of Ways, who had several females in captivity ; southwards it is not 

 uncommon in Perlis, but in the Federated Malay States and further 

 south it is very rarely met with. 



In adult males from Perlis and Ghirbi the flank shaft-stripes 

 are pure white : in a half grown male from the former locality they 

 are deep buff, becoming white anteriorly.
