184 BIRDS OF THE 
life cobalt, tip pale green (after death the cobalt-color changes 
into green and becomes black in dried skins), edge of upper 
mandible black, lower mandible green, feet pale flesh-color. 
Hab. From Tenasserim throughout the Malay Peninsula 
to Sumatra and Borneo, where it is generally distributed. 
80. Cymborhynchus macrorhynchus. 
Todus macrorhynchus Gm, Syst. Nat. p. 446 (1788).

N. L. M. 1887, p 48; Everett, L. B. Born. p. 151; Sharpe, Ibis 
1889, p. 440. 
A great number of adult, immature and young speci- 
mens of both sexes from Pontianak, Poetoes Sibau, Nanga 
Raoen, the Siniai Valley, and Poelau. — Iris green in 
adult birds, in younger specimens purplish gray or brown; 
bill in adult birds uniform cobalt-blue, in younger speci- 
mens pale green, edge blue, followed by yellow, in quite 
young birds pale green with blackish tip, lower mandible 
with blue edgings, followed by green, and yellow in the 
centre, in young specimens entirely rosy; feet purplish 
blue. Two fledged young birds have breast and abdomen 
barred with rosy-red and grayish brown, but in the male 
the throat is blackish, while in the female this part is 
yellowish white, which color is separated from the barred 
breast by a dusky blackish broad bar across the chest. 
The red color on the rump and the white shoulder-coverts 
are plainly developed, but the black color of the upper 
surface yields to a brownish tinge and is destitute of any 
gloss. The white on the inner edge of the outer tail-feathers 
varies very much in extent and in some specimens is even 
entirely wanting. This difference seems to me quite individual, 
and not due to locality, age or sex of the bird (see also 
my explanations in N. L. M. 1887, p. 48). 
Hab. Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Banka and Borneo, 
where it is spread over the whole island, keeping by prefe- 
rence to the banks of the rivers.
