A fine series of the Malayan Fairy Blue-bird was collected. It is 

 represented in all stages of plumage, from the young in female dress to the 

 fully adult. 



' Only met with in this one locality, where it was very abundant in parties 

 of five or six, which, as a rule, included only one fully plumaged male, feeding 

 on the fruit of a species of Ficus. The skin of this bird is extraordinarily 

 tender, and it is almost as difficult to skin as the Trogons.' 



83. Chloropsis cyanopogon, (Temm.) 

 Chloropsis cyanopogon, Hartert, p. 557. 



<j>vixad. Mabek, Jalor. 23rd July. (No. 322) 



The Blue-whiskered Chloropsis is represented by a nearly adult female, 

 with the blue streak partially developed on one side only. 



' Not uncommon, but difficult to see or shoot on account of the close 

 assimilation between the colour of its plumage and the thick foliage which it 

 seldom leaves. With other species of a general green colour it shares the 

 Malay name of Burong daun (Leaf-bird).'
