109. Buceros Homrai. 



Presented by Dr. McCosh. 



Mr. Hodgson discovered this magnificent species in Nepaul. Lieu- 

 tenant Phayre, 7th Regiment Native Infantry, brought me a specimen 

 from Moulmein ; and this in the Society's Museum was brought from 

 Assam, by Dr. McCosh. A species of Horn-bill more magnificent 

 than the above is found near Kerseangurry, on the road to Darjeel- 

 ing, at an elevation of about 3000 feet ; the head and neck furnished 

 with long disintegrated feathers, forming a sort of mane, their colour 

 light chesnut, and that of the belly dark chesnut, back and wings glossy 

 black, tail do. with white tip. Bill without a casque. I forbear to say 

 more on this bird, having sent it to Mr. Hodgson of Nepaul for descrip- 

 tion — a gentleman whose exertions in this branch of Natural History in 

 the Himalayah Mountains, entitle him to a consideration of the kind.
