FASCICULI MALATENSES 



The Lesser Blue-winged Pitta has the iris dark hazel, the bill black, and 

 the feet flesh-colour. 



' Pittas are very local birds in the Malay Peninsula, and only this species 

 was met with by us. It is, undoubtedly, a migrating bird in the Patani States, 

 arriving at the commencement of the wet season. At Tanjong Patani, large 

 numbers are annually caught in the ground-nets after landing in an exhausted 

 condition. The specimens mentioned above were snared by little Malay boys 

 in a swampy patch of jungle at the foot of a precipitous limestone hill.' 



Malay name, Burong lah^ or Burong pachat, (Leech-bird).
