portion of Tenasserim at Pakchan and Bankasoon. 
It extends down the Malay peninsula and occurs in the islands of Su- 
matra, Java and Borneo. 
Mr. Davison states that this species seems to avoid the forests and aff'ects 
small clumps o£ trees or bushes or patches of scrub-jungle in open or 
cultivated country. It is only seen singly or in pairs and is a very scarce 
bird in the extreme south of Tenasserim.
