“Tris grey, bill blackish horn, feet lead.” 
This immature bird has the undersurface, including the 
under wing coverts, black, narrowly barred with white, the 
sides of the face, forehead and loral region barred black and 
white; rest of head and hind neck black, glossed with green- 
ish steel. 
It is evidently referable to this species, but has the black 
less glossed with violet blue than in the adult and the breast 
and flanks are slightly suffused with chocolate red. 
Wing, which is fully grown, 181 mm., rather larger than 
Malayan specimens of C. vectungiis, but considerably smaller 
than Centropus sinensis bubutus, Horsf., which also occurs in 
the district. 
Shot in scrub jungle, near the sea. 
Stresemann (Nov. Zool. xix, pp. 337-8, 1912), apparently 
regards this species as merely the female of Centropus bengal- 
ensis javanensis. The two forms are, however, totally distinct, 
the present one having no seasonal change and having an 
entirely different colouration both above and below. The 
size too, is very much larger, and there does not appear to be
