Wings, é 97, 98, 100, 100, 101, 101, 103, 103, 103, 107, 
108, 108 ; 2 92, 94, 94, 95, 95, 96, 101 mm. 
The grey of the adult is replaced by a dull greyish 
brown in the young bird. 
The measurements of Mr. Jacobson’s series confirm the 
greater size of the Malayan bird on account of which we 
have named it R. m. major (Bull. B.O.C. XL, 1919, p. 16). 
Contents of stomach: fruit and insects. 
The most common of the Crateropodinae, lives in 
large flocks in old and secondary forest, in plantations and 
scrub bush, where it clambers about the boughs and creepers 
like amammal. The various sounds it produces are again 
different from those of the other species. In coffee planta- 
tions it causes some harm by devouring the ripe coffee 
berries.
