THE BUSHY-CRESTED HORNBILL.

horny black on either side just in front of the casque^ and behind this the 
sides of the upper mandible and casque are a duskier horny green than 
elsewhere. (Davison.) 
Length about 40 inches^ tail 18, wing 15, tarsus 2*4, bill from gape to 
tip 6*5. The female is rather smaller. 
The Hornbills of this genus have a small smooth casque indistinctly 
separated from the upper mandible, over which it extends for rather more 
than half its length. A peculiar feature of the present species is its 
enormous and peculiar shaped crest. 
The Long-crested Hornbill occurs in the extreme south of Tenasserim, 
where my men procured it at Bankasoon. Mr. Davison also obtained it 
at this village, and further north at the base of Nwalabo mountain. 
It extends down the Malay peninsula, and occurs in Sumatra ; and Dr. 
Tiraud records it from Cochin China. 
This species, according to Mr. Davison, keeps about the lower trees and 
undergrowth and is very shy. It feeds not only on fruit, but also on 
lizards and small birds, and it is constantly seen on the ground.
