140 BIRDS FROM PERAK. 
‘“‘No. 14.—I observed one male of this species with the 
under tail-coverts scarlet; and another with them green, with 
the extreme tips of the feathers tinged with scarlet. It isa 
very silent bird, and only occasionally utters a harsh note, 
something like that of a wood-pecker.”

bird on the almost vertical branch of a shrub, pecking at it in 
the same way as a wood-pecker, and took it to be a nuthatch

I showed Mr. WRAY’S specimen to my friend Mr. HARGITT,
