being the Larut Hills in Perak at an elevation of from 3,000- 

 5,000 ft. ; and the second the Semangko Pass in Selangor from 

 2,700-4,000 ft. In the latter locality it is fairly common. 



I have never seen the bird alive myself and know nothing of its 

 habits. — H. C. E.] 



101. EURYL.EMUS OCHROMELAS, Raffl. 

 Euryloemus ochromelas, Grant, p. 96. 



a. /. (with nest). Kuala Teku, Tahan River. 500 ft. 25th May, 1905. 



b. , c. m.ad. et w.imm. Kuala Teku, Tahan River. 503-1,000 ft. 8th 



August, 1905. 



[Iris, greenish ; bill, pale blue ; tomia, yellow ; feet, pinkish flesh- 

 colour. The nest of this species is very similar to that of E. javanicus, 

 but smaller. In the present instance, it was suspended immediately 

 beneath a leafy branch about 25 ft. above the river. It contained 

 two nearly hatched eggs. The habits of this species are similar to 

 those of E. javanicus, but it is often found in more open country. — 

 H. C. E.] 



The nest of this species is very similar to that of Corydon suina- 

 tranus (of. Grant, p. 97).

Eurvlsemus javanicus, Hartert, Nov. Zool., ix., p. 548 (1902). 

 a. /. Kuala Teku, Tahan River. 500-1,000 ft. 20th July, 1905. (No. 444). 

 Iris, emerald-green ; bill, pale blue, tomia green ; feet, pinkish flesh-

 Cymborhynchus macrorhynchus, Grant, p. 96. 



a.-c. m.,f. Kuala Tembeling, Pahang River. 200 ft. August, 1905. 

 (Nos. 560, 561, 573, 574, 588). 



Iris, emerald; bill, pale blue; tomia and tip, chrome; feet, purplish- 

 blue. 



[The Black and Eed Broad-bill is found all along the rivers in 

 secondary growths and around towns, but does not penetrate far into 

 virgin jungle. Its large, untidy, globular nests are built at the ends 

 of branches, never more than 10 or 15 ft. from the ground, and like 

 those of the rest of the family are usually overhanging water. The 

 note is best expressed by the syllables che-ri-ri-r, but the rolling- 

 sound at the end is often much prolonged and is sometimes varied by 

 a clear whistle. — H. C. E.]
