﻿have received no information as to its habits, which, however, are doubtless similar to those 

 of Halcyon macleayi and the other species of the subgenus Cyanalcyon, to which section the 

 present bird also belongs. 



My figures are taken from a pair of birds obtained by Mr. Wallace, and lent to me by 

 that gentleman. The change of plumage through which the young bird passes is exempli- 

 fied in a specimen in my own collection.
