CUBA T RO GON . — Friotelus temnurus . 
MALABAR TROGON . — Harpactes Malobricus . 
The Cuba Trogon lives in the country from which it derives its name. It 
runs about the branches of trees and picks out the insects that try to hide under 
the bark. The tail of this bird looks as if the feathers had been trimmed with 
scissors. 
According to Gould, it bears a singular icsemblance to the woodpeckers, both 
in its habits and in the general formation of its plumage. Like those birds, it 
runs about the trunks and branches of trees, peers into the hollows, and dislodges 
from under the bark the insects on which it feeds. 
The Malabar Trogon is found in Malabar, where it sits idly on a branch all 
day, arid hardly stirs until night, when it becomes very lively, and catches insects 
as they traverse the branches.
