24 BIRDS OF THE LARUT HILLS. 
Less common than MM. tukki on the hills. I saw it once at 
3,000 feet. 
80. Miglyptes tukki. (Lesson.) 
The Buff-necked Barred Woodpecker. 
Common from 2000 to 4000 feet; generally in pairs, but 
sometimes in small parties of 5 or 6. The note isa long trill. (4.) 
81. Chrysocolaptes validus. (Temm.) 
Golden backed Bar-winged Woodpecker. 
Chiefly alow country form; I saw one pair at 2000 feet 
and obtained one specimen, (1.) 
82. Vivia innominata. (Burton.) 
The Speckled Piculet. 
This diminutive Woodpecker is apparently scarce, though 
its small size doubtless causes it to be overlooked. My speci- 
men was shot at 4,000 feet, associating with a large foraging 
party of various small birds. It was swinging on a trailing 
liana-Jike creeper, across which it had perched, and might al- 
most have been mistaken for some sort of Flower-pecker. (1.) 
83.  Psilopogon pyrolophus. (S. Mill.) 
The Bar-billed Barbet. 
I found this very beautiful barbet from 3,000 to nearly 
5000 feet. Mr. Wray says it isa very silent bird, only occa- 
sionally uttering a harsh note like that of a Woodpecker. 1 
never heard it utter any note that I can remember, which bears 
out what Mr. Wray says as to its being usually so silent, but 
Hartert has described its note very differently. (J. f. O. 1889.)

84, Mesobucco duvauceli. (Lesson.) 
The Crimson-eared Barbet. Very common, from the low 
country up to 4000 feet. This is one of the most annoying 
birds I know to try and shoot. It ensconces itself among the 
foliage at the very top of a very high tree, often, in the low 
country, adurian, and there keeps up for hours together, an in-
