Tenasserim provinces. " These birds are much better flyers than the 

 Eurylaimi. I found them once in a flock, like Titmice, but very high up" 

 (TicMl). Dr. Heifer states, in his MS. notes quoted by Mr. P. Moore, "that 

 he observed this bird in societies of thirty or forty, upon the loftiest trees in 

 the forests in the Tenasserim provinces ; and that they are so very fearless 

 that the whole flock can be shot down one after the other." He only observed 

 them on one occasion.
