The Red-winged Crested Cuckoo was rather rare in the parts of Siarn visited by my 

 Expedition. It was only observed at two different occasions and both these times in 

 the Northern districts. It frequents low shrub-jungle and is quite tame and easy to ob- 

 serve. 



Outside Siamese Territory it has been found in the Indian Peninsula, Ceylon, the 

 Burmese coiintries, China, the Malay Peninsula, the Gr. Sunda Islands and the Philip - 

 pines.

 was observed on the 22nd of January 1915.
