The Jungle-Crow has the iris brown and the bill and feet black, 
4 In the Malay Peninsula at least* the trivial name of this species is some¬ 
what misleading as it is rarely, if ever found far from open country. In 
Patani and other east coast districts, it is very abundant, roosting and 
nesting in the crowns of cocoa-nut and sugar palms, but in the Federated 
Malay States it is comparatively scarce. In Patani, on an easily understood 
homoeopathic principle, the ashes of a crow's wing-feathers are in great demand 
as a specific against grey hair, whilst in South Perak, oil in which the feathers have 
been boiled is used for a similar purpose, Malay name, Gagak kampong ,.’

The Racket-tailed Magpie has the iris red and the bill and feet black. 
4 Only met with in Patani, where it was not uncommon during May and 
June, generally frequenting the Cashew trees in search of cockchafers and big 
green Ruteitd beetles ( A noma la viridis). The species has not been previously 
recorded from the Malay Peninsula, and is apparently unknown on the west 
coast or further south than Patani.’
