Northern Portion of the Malay Peninsula. 
Burma, Assam, and Palawan, and find that the differences 
as noted by Dr. Hartert, viz. the much richer colouring of 
the upper and lower surfaces, are fairly constant. Curiously 
enough, a specimen from the type-locality of the subspecies, 
Gunong Tahan, is paler than any of the others. 
The form is separated from D. corallines of Borneo by 
its brownish-black feet, and from D. cenochlamys of some 
of the Philippine Islands by its red, not greenish beak, the 
uniform back and mantle, and the absence of a white loral 
spot.

Corone macrorhynchus (Wagl.); Sharpe, Cat. Birds Brit. 
Mus. iff. p. 38 (1877). 
The Common Jungle-Crow was very abundant in Trang 
and also in Langkawi and Terutau. 
In the southern half of the Peninsula it is scarcer, being 
only seen in numbers on the coast in the vicinity of the 
fishing villages. 
From Perak southwards to Johor the Slender-billed Crow, 
Corvus enca Horsf., occurs, but is very rare, only three or 
four specimens having been obtained. 
238. Platysmurus leucopterus. 
Platysmurus leucopterus (Temm.) ; Sharpe, tom. cit. p. 90. 
Fairly numerous in Trang in the secondary jungle, but 
not so common as in some of the more southerly districts. 
Known to Malays as the burong kambing (goat-bird) from its 
harsh call. 
DlCRURimE.

Dissemurus paradiseus (Linn.) ; Sharpe, tom. cit. p. 225; 
Kobinson, p. 211. 
Very common everywhere throughout the Peninsula, 
especially in bamboo-forest. 
Exceptionally numerous on certain of the smaller islands.
