CAMPEPHAGIDAE. 



Dicrurus siimatranus. 



Wardlaw-Ramsay, Proc. Zool. Soc. Pt, I, 1. July 1880, 

 p. 15. 



This species seems to find its nearest ally in Dicrurus 

 bimaensis Wall., from Lombock, Sumbawa and Flores. It, how- 

 ever, differs in having the plumage of the back pure black, 

 without any metallic gloss. It also resembles that species in 

 the form of the feathers springing from the base of the maxilla 

 and covering the nostrils; but in the present bird these feathers 

 are much lengthened, reaching over nearly two thirds of the 

 length of the bill. The rictal bristles are also much exaggerated, 

 projecting nearly as far as the point of the bill. The Sumatran 

 bird is also larger than D. bimaensis^ having a wing of 5,9 

 inches length against 5,5 in British - Museum examples of the 

 latter species. 



The tail is nearly square, one specimen only exhibiting a 

 slight tendency in the outer tail-feathers to eure at the tip. 



Hab. : Ayer-angat, Paio and Mount Sago, Padang, Sumatra.
