Rosinson & Kioss : Birds of West Sumatra. 285 
ranges from the coast not higher than up to 800 M., being 
numerous at 300-500 M. Higher than 800 M. I did not 
see it anywhere. Ficus trees with ripe fruits attract it in 
great numbers. 
We have compared the present series with a large 
number from Sarawak, Borneo, from which it is impossible 
to separate them. They are all only just distinguished from 
I. p. turcosa Walden, of Java, by a slight purplish tinge 
in the males and possibly by slightly smaller size. 
215. Ixos cinereus cinereus (Blyth). 
é, 2. Serapei, Korinchi, 800 M. 
2, 2 imm. Rimbo Pengadang, Lebong, Bencoo- 
len, 1000 M. 
Iris brown to brownish crimson, bill and feet black. 
Wings, ¢ 97, 96, 92; 2 90, 88 (imm.). 
In the young bird the feathers of the head are without 
grey tips and the white area of the throat is small. 
Lives in old forest. 
216. Ixos malaccensis (Blyth). 
@. Mt. Talamau, Ophir Districts, 400 M. 
Iris brown, upper mandible brownish black, lower pale 
sepia, feet purplish brown. 
Wing 100 mm. 
Contents of stomach : seeds. 
This bird lives at lower altitudes than [ros sumatranus 
and seems to be rare. 
The specimen confirms our remarks as to the occur- 
rence of the species in Sumatra : it can be exactly matched 
by examples from Selangor, Malay Peninsula.
