the head of a somewhat darker grey. Two specimens how- 
ever, from Gunong Mengkuang Lebah, Selangor, shot in 
February, agree with the Sumatran skins in this respect and it 
is therefore not advisable to separate the Malayan from the 
typical Sumatran form on this character. 
The wing of the four Sumatran specimens, which are all 
adult, ranges from 213-246 mm., while those of the peninsular 
specimens vary from 219-244, indicating that the size is 
identical.

“ Male, iris inner ring white succeeded by a median blue 
and an outer heliotrope ring, orbital skin crimson, bill lead 
black, feet pinkish maroon.” 
Female, iris amethyst, bill dark purplish brown, feet 
maroon.” 
“Younger birds have the iris dark or hazel, the bill horn 
and the feet brownish, only the fully adult birds have the 
crimson orbital skin.” 
Round Siolak Daras on the valley floor this species was 
fairly common in secondary jungle and at the edges of clear- 
ings in wet situations. At Sungei Kumbang in the middle of 
May it was exceedingly common, feeding along the edges of 
swampy patches by the stream side in large flocks up to thirty 
ot forty individuals. Further up the mountain it was scarcer 
but occurred, though in diminished numbers, as high as the 
tree limit. 
Like other members of the genus the plumage changes 
through which this species passes are very complicated.
