“Tris orange, orbital ring and feet bright chrome, bill 
yellowish green, tip and culmen green.” 
Fairly abundant, especially in the winter months, through- 
out the Peninsula but much commoner in the northern half, 
where its numbers are evidently largely augmented by 
migrants. Some birds, however, probably reside throughout 
the year as the museum possesses adults and extremely young 
birds shot at Temengoh, Northern Perak, on July 15th. 
The most southerly specimen I have been able to examine 
is an adult male from Gunong Tampin, Negri Sembilan, and 
this is undoubtedly the present form. Specimens from 
Southern Johore and from Singapore will however not 
improbably prove to be referable to the original Hzerococcyx 
fugax (Horsf.) described from Java, of which the present form 
is only the continental race. 
The species has not as yet been recorded from any part of 
Siam except the Peninsula.

Fairly common everywhere. 
The races of the Koel have been much discussed from the 
time of Walden (bts 1869, p. 239 et seq.), but no great degree 
of unanimity seems to have been attained. In the Malay 
Peninsula and possibly in Siam the question is further com- 
plicated by the fact that individuals of two different races 
appear to winter in the country while in addition there are 
possibly birds who are resident throughout the year, though 
we have no direct evidence on this point as the species is 
extremely rare anywhere on the mainland except in the north 
of the Peninsula.
