101 
upper plumage reddish brown ; tail as in the male ; wings as in the male, 
excepting that the bars on the coverts, secondaries and tertiaries are bufip; 
the chin is yellowish ; the throat and breast greyish brown ; the remainder 
of the lower parts is deep yellow, without the fiery orange tint of the male. 
Bill purplish blue, the culmen and tip blackish ; orbital skin bright 
smalt-blue ; legs plumbeous blue ; claws dark horn ; mouth dusky flesh- 
colour ; iris dark brown. 
Length 12 inches, tail 7*3, wing 5, tarsus '6, bill from gape '85. The 
female is of the same size. 
The Yellow-breasted Trogon is found over the greater part of British 
Burmah. Mr. Blyth gives it from Arrakan. In Pegu I observed it on 
the Pegu hills near the frontier, and more commonly in some of the forests 
between the hills and the Sittang river as far down as Pegu ; and Capt. 
Wardlaw Bamsay got it on the Karin hills. Mr. Davison says it is 
generally distributed and common throughout Tenasserim, being more 
frequent between Moulmein and Tavoy ; and^ according to Capt. Bingham^ 
it is extremely common in the Thoungyeen valley. 
Out of Burmah it probably occurs in portions of the Malay peninsula, 
for it is met with in Sumatra, Java and perhaps in Borneo. Mr. Blyth 
gives it from Siam and Cambodia ; but Dr. Tiraud did not find it in 
Cochin China. 
This Trogon is not confined to evergreen or dense forest like the 
preceding species, but is met with also in bamboo- and spare tree-jungle. 
It has similar habits to the Bed-headed Trogon. Both Capt. Bingham 
and Mr. Davison found numerous nests of this bird in Tenasserim in 
February. The eggs, two or three in number, are placed at the bottom of 
a hole in a branch of a tree ; they are of a pale buff colour.
