belongs. It was first discovered by the scientific travellers sent out by the Dutch Govern- 
ment, and was named by Temminck. It is found in the great forests in Sumatra and the 
island of Sonda, where it feeds on the wild figs. Its only very near ally is M. chrysopsis, 
which was first described byGoffin in 1863; and from that it may be known by its forehead, 
which is yellow in the other species ; they also differ in the colouring of the sides of the 
occiput, the ear-coverts, and the mustachial stripe. It is a common bird, being always 
sent in collections made up at Singapore. 
Our plate and description are taken from specimens in our own collection received 
from Singapore. 
A figure of this bird is given by Temminck in his ‘ Planches Coloriees.’
