BIRDS COLEBCLED IN] PERAK: 7 
with a large series of which I have compared it. I showed 
the specimens to my friend Mr. HARGITT, and examined 
it together, so that I have the best possible confirmation of 
the distinctness of the species. It differs from C. favinucha 
in having the feathers of the throat pure black, narrowly 
margined, except at the tip, with white, the black expanding 
about midway. The bill is black, yellowish at the angle of 
the lower mandible; the rufous bars on the wings are about 
equal in width to the black interspaces. 
The size is considerably less, and the general colouration is 
darker, especially on the face, which is deep olive. Total 
length 10.5 inches, culmen 1.28, wing 5.6, tail 4, tarsus 0.93. 
The immature female of C. favinucha, which the Perak 
bird most resembles, has the feathers of the throat of an clive- 
black, edged with white, the black contracted above midway. 
The adult of the same species has the base of the feathers 
entirely white, the apex only being olive-black.

“No. 86. 6 9 ad. Gunong Batu Puteh (3,400 feet). 
“Trides light red; feet pale flesh-colour, with bluish-white 
bloom ; bill cobalt-blue, black on ridge and at points; bare 
skin round eye purple. The female has the irides light 
brown, at least in the single specimen I met with. It keeps 
usually in the undergrowth and lower trees of the forest, and 
has the same habits as Harpactes hasumba.” 
Compared with Himalayan specimens, and apparently 
quite identical.
