232 BIRDS OF THE 
_ Seven specimens collected in the forests of Mount Liang 
Koeboeng and sixteen on the Upper Mahakkam. — Iris 
light brown, bill horny gray, feet brownish flesh-color. In 
some specimens the crown is conspicuously tinged with 
brown, but this variation seems to be independant from 
the sex. The male is constantly somewhat larger than the 
female. 
Hab. Malayan Peninsula and Borneo, where it seems 
to be widely distributed.

Two specimens (adult male and female) were shot near 
my station on the western slope of the Liang Koeboeng, 
at an altitude of 750 m., and an adult male on the Bruny 
River (Upper Mahakkam). — Iris dark brown, bill horny 
brown, naked skin on the neck blue, feet dark grayish blue. 
It is by no means easy to see these birds, as they 
are running along the ground in high forest hidden by
