the others black at base and broadly white at tip ; wings blackish, all the 
coverts, the tertiaries, the outer webs of the secondaries and the outer web

maries narrowly edged with white. 
The female has the head brown, tinged with rusty on the throat, and the 
lower plumage a paler crimson ; the tail is the same as in the male ; the 
bars on the wings are buff instead of white; the rump and upper tail- 
coverts are like the back, but washed with crimson. 
Legs and feet pale smalt-blue, smalt-blue, dark purplish blue ; claws 
horny ; irides deep brown ; bare space over eye deep to bright smalt-blue ; 
gape to within half an inch of tip of bill a rich cobalt, shading to pale 
cobalt at tip of lower mandible j tip and ridge of culmen and a narrow 
streak on each side horny black ; or, gape and sides of bill cobalt-blue ; 
culmen, tips of upper and lower mandibles, and edges of both for about 
one third of their length, measuring from the tip, black. [Davison.)

female is of much the same size. 
A closely allied race, H. orrophceus, Cabanis, occurs in the south of the 
Malay peninsula. It has the rump and upper tail-coverts not crimson, 
but concolorous with the back. 
DuvauceVs Trogon occurs from the extreme south of Tenasserim up to 
Nwalabo mountain, and appears to be not uncommon. 
It extends down the Malay peninsula and is met with in Sumatra and 
Borneo. 
Mr. Davison says : — "In habits it resembles the other members of the 
genus, inhabiting the most shady depths of the evergreen forests, sitting 
quietly on some low branch, from which it occasionally swoops off to seize 
an insect, and at intervals uttering its soft note, which much resembles 
that of the other Trogons, but is much softer.
