1833.] of Borabhiim and Dholbhiim. ‘579 
Common, Frequenting the largest timber, cotton trees, &c. Noisy, agile, 
46. P. Beneatensis, Horsf. Differing merely from the foregoing 
in having the crest red and the tail coverts the same as the back. Is 
too well known in Bengal to require description. 
47. P. Aurocristatus, T. Plumage and size scarcely differ from 
that of the P. Medius of Bewick. The crest is of a golden-buff color, 
with the extremity scarlet; lower parts brown and white ; belly scar- 
let. The male is 4 larger than the female. The latter has the entire crest 
golden-buff. Pretty common in thick jungles. Has a squeaking 
monotonous note. 
48. Srrra Frontauis. Swainson. S. Velata, Temminck. Ortho- 
rynchus Frontalis, Horsf. Java. Does not differ from the description 
given in Cuvier. Rare. The single specimen seen was procured at 
Kankarjurf, near Dampara in Dholbhim. It flies and climbs about 
the underwood with great rapidity, and is found in the thickest parts 
of saul jungle. 
49, Bucrros Marasaricus. Malabar Hornbill? Male. Length of 
bill 7 inches ; of excrescence 8; from maxillary angle to end of tail 
2 feet 3, of which, tail 1 foot 1; from tip to tip of wings, 3 feet 2. 
Bill pale yellow, excrescence or horn black, with a broad lateral irre- 
gular line of yellow, occupying nearly the whole of it ; pale, livid-fleshy 
patch on the base of lower mandible; eyelids ciliated, eyes scarlet; feet 
iron-grey, tarsi strong, thick, short, and scutellated ; from sternum 
downwards, and all the feathers of the tail (except the two centre ones) 
white ; rest of plumage shining metallic black. 
These birds were very common in all the more open and large tim- 
bered spaces in the jungles, frequenting in preference the pfepal trees, 
the berry of which forms their principal food. The young continue with 
the parent birds for many months, after leaving the nest; hence these 
hornbills are generally met traversing the forest in flocks of eight or ten. 
They are shy and wary, and the voice loud, clanging, and harsh. The 
horn is not developed till after the first year, the nestlings having the 
bill plain and without any trace of excrescence. These birds are 
never met with in the high rocky lands, nor in the barren tracts of 
saul jungle, but abound in the rich meadows composing the valley of 
the Subonrika, where the country in many parts has the appearance 
of a well-cultured English park. 
50. B. Ginetanus. Gingi Hornbill. Very common in the same 
haunts as the foregoing, and well known throughout India. 
51. Bucco Linrata. Hackled Barbet, T. Male. Length 9 inches; 
shape and manners of B, Lathami, (the well known green species.) Bill 
3 F 2.
