The Jungle-Crow has the iris brown and the bill and feet black. 



* In the Malay Peninsula at least, the trivial name of this species is some- 

 what misleading as it is rarely, if ever found far from open country. In 

 Patani and other east coast districts, it is very abundant, roosting and 

 nesting in the crowns of cocoa-nut and sugar palms, but in the Federated 

 Malay States it is comparatively scarce. In Patani, on an easily understood 

 homoeopathic principle, the ashes of a crow's wing-feathers are in great demand 

 as a specific against grey hair, whilst in South. Perak, oil in which the feathers have 

 been boiled is used for a similar purpose. Malay name, Gagak kampong?

The Racket-tailed Magpie has the iris red and the bill and feet black. 



* Only met with in Patani, where it was not uncommon during May and 

 June, generally frequenting the Cashew trees in search of cockchafers and big 

 green Rutelid beetles {Anomala viridis). The species has not been previously 

 recorded from the Malay Peninsula, and is apparently unknown on the west 

 coast or further south than Patani.'
