. “No. 29.—@. This bird is partial to the lower trees and 
bushes in the forest, and extends from the plains up to the 
very top of the hills. The nest is made ina hole excavated 
in a bank of earth, in the same way as with the Me€Tops. 
‘It makes a sort of laughing noise, something like ‘ Kar-ka- 
ka-ka-ka-ka-kar.’ It was some time before I was able to 
identify this bird as the caller, until I shot one in the act. 
The amount of red on the head and throat varies very much, 
and in one the plumage was wholly green, excepting the tail, 
which was the same as in the normally coloured bird.’’

is plentiful, but, from its frequenting the tops of tall trees, is 
difficult to shoot. Both of these barbets are very noisy 
birds.”
