The Red-winged Crested Cuckoo was rather rare in the parts of Siam visited by my 
Expedition. It was only observed at two different occasions and both these times in 
the Northern districts. It frequents low shrub-jungle and is quite tame and easy to ob- 
serve. 
Outside Siamese Territory it has been found in the Indian Peninsula, Ceylon, the 
Burmese countries, China, the Malay Peninsula, the Gr. Sunda Islands and the Philip- 
pines.
