Common in Trang, on Terutau and Langkawi and also on 
the Butang Archipelago further west, extending as far south 
as Penang Island. In the Malay Peninsula is a littoral and 
open country species not found in heavy forest.

“Tris, bill and feet black.”’ 
Abundant along both coasts of the Peninsula, from 
Singapore to the extreme north, but never, so far as my experi- 
ence goes, at any distance from the sea. Possibly because, 
like many of the family, this species likes sunny, open spaces 
and flowering shrubs.

b-d. 2 6, %. Telok Wau, Terutau, 26th-zoth 
December 1916. [Nos. 3743-4, 3791.] 
“Tris dark, upper mandible black, lower yellowish 
brown, feet dark brown.” 
Rare on Langkawi, fairly common on Terutau among the 
mangroves and on bushes in open country bordering heavy 
jungle. 
Comparison with topotypical specimens of the true Ae. 
siparaa (Raffles) from West Sumatra, confirms the differences 
already noted between these forms and in addition it would 
appear that in Ae.s. cara the metallic feathers of the crown 
extend further back, almost to the level of the ear-coverts.
