The note of this cuckoo, harsher and more prolonged than 
that of the European species and frequently with an additional 
two syllables on a falling scale, was often heard round our 
camp at Sungei Kumbang. 
Adult :—“ Iris orange, orbital ring chrome, bill greenish, 
yellow at gape, culmen black, feet pale, yellow claws, yellow 
horn.” 
Imm. :—‘‘ Iris hazel, orbital wattle greenish yellow, upper 
mandible blackish, pale yellow at the extreme base, lower 
mandible greenish horn, black at tip, yellow at base and gape, 
feet pale yellow.” 
The adult male is very dark steel grey above and the grey 
of the throat is not clouded with rufous as is the case in the 
adult female, which is also of a lighter grey above. Immature 
birds have the whole upper surface including the tail barred 
rufous and black, the primaries barred on the outer web and the 
barring of the under surface continued up to the chin. The 
nestling is blackish above, all the feathers with broad white 
edgings, and barred black and white below; primaries and tail 
feathers toothed with rufous buff on the outer webs. 
This species occurs in Borneo, Java, Sumatra, the Malay 
Peninsula and the lesser Sunda Islands, apparently always at 
considerable elevations, being therefore somewhat rare in 
collections. 
We have followed Hartert in the name for the form 
though it is more probable that C. canorordes, which he regards 
as a synonym of C. canorus telephonus tom. cit. p. 948, Heine, is 
the right title. -S. Mueller did not accompany his name witha 
description but this has been supplied by Buonaparte (Joc. cit.)
