its very much coarser bill. With regard to the two other 
Malayan species, it can be at once distinguished from 
M. robinsoni , confined to the high mountains, by its very much 
larger size, and from M. dicrorhynchus , which is also found 
in Sumatra, by its much more brilliant coloration. 
The species is very common on Langkawi and Terutau, 
whence we have received large series, and less abundant in 
Trang, where only three or four were collected. Like the 
other species of the genus it keeps to rocky hills and gullies 
covered with deep jungle. M. dicrorhynchus , the species with 
which we are best acquainted, is common on the limestone 
cliffs near Kuala Lumpur, where it feeds on snails. Their 
shells are broken on the rocks, each bird apparently using 
one particular spot for the purpose, with the result that large 
piles of debris accumulate.

A single specimen was obtained on the Langkawi group 
in the earlier part of 1909. Elsewhere on the Peninsula 
the species is common at medium elevations, being met with 
in small flocks on the smaller trees.

A large series of this and the succeeding species was 
collected at various places in Trang during December, 
January, and February. We have also obtained it from 
Langkawi and Terutau in the months of February and 
March.
