Habits . — I am unable to furnish any information concerning the habits of this species, beyond that I learn

When killed it has doubtless been met with in such localities ; but as a rule it will be found, like its congeners, 
to be a forest-loving species, like Baza lophotes and B. reinwardti. 
The front figure in the Plate accompanying this article is the adult male bird killed at Matale, and that 
in the background the young bird sent home by Messrs. Whyte and Co. to the British Museum.
