Halcyon armstrongi was the first name published and there¬ 
fore the one that is applicable, though it was only regarded 
by Dr. Sharpe as a subspecies of H. chloris , while to H. humii 
he accorded full specific rank. 
84. Halcyon concretus. 
Halcyon concretus (Temm.); Sharpe, tom. cit. p. 285. 
Generally distributed throughout the Peninsula, including 
Singapore, but confined to deep jungle, where it is frequently 
—and, indeed, generally-—found far from water, like Car- 
cineutes pulchellus.

Very common indeed in the interior of Trang in open 
sandy plains, this locality being the southernmost limit of 
the species on the west coast of the Peninsula. On the east 
side it was met with by Robinson and Annandale as far south 
as Patani in similar situations. 
BuCEROTIDjE. 
86. Dichoceros bicornis. 
Dichoceros bicornis (Linn.) ; Grant, Cat. B. Brit. Mus. 
xvii. p. 355 ; Robinson, p. 172. 
Fairly common on Pulau Terutau and also on the Dindings, 
islands off the estuary of the Perak River, hut separated from 
the mainland by a very narrow channel. 
This species invariably flies at a great height in flocks of 
seven or eight, and it is difficult to procure a specimen 
except with a rifle. 
In the paper quoted above, Robinson (p. 216, Section B) 
erroneously records this species as confined to the mainland. 
It should, of course, be placed in section C, as it is apparently 
common in Sumatra. 
87. Anthracoceros malabaricus. 
Anthracoceros malabaricus (Gm.) ; Grant, tom. cit. p. 365. 
Common in Trang, Langkawi, and Terutau, but not found
