241. Centrococcyx javanensis (Dumont). 
[This species, unlike the last, is seldom seen except in the “ lalang ■’’-grass plains near the edges of 
clearings. 
This Cuckoo may often be turned up in the coarse grass plains within a few yards, when it rises with 
a slow flapping flight, often soaring long distances, seldom more than a few feet above the grass, and then 
dropping suddenly out of sight. 
Native name “ Bubut.”] 
Family Bucerotid^e. 
242. Buceros rhinoceros, L. 
[Iris dark lake ; hill red and yellow ; feet dull yellow. 
This large Hornbill is fairly common, frequenting the high fruit-hearing forest trees. I have seen 
eleven flying in one flock, when they could be heard a great distance off, the noise they make with their 
wings being very loud. 
Native name “ Sungung.”] 
243. Bhinoplax vigil (Forst.). 
[Fairly common in most old forests, frequenting the tops of high trees. It utters a loud deep cry, 
“ Lentodoon ” (from which it gets its native name), and then goes off into a fit of laughter, which may be 
heard at a great distance. 
The native idea is that the heavy knob on the bill is used for hammering the gutta and gum round 
the hole when it closes up the female in the nest.] 
244. Anthracoceros convexus (T.). 
[Native name “ Lekup.”] 
245. Anthracoceros malayanus (Raffl.). 
246. Anorrhinus comatus (Raffl.). 
Recorded from Borneo for the first time. 
247. Anorrhinus galeritus (T.). 
Adult. Iris lake ; hill black, sometimes white-striped ; feet black ; skin on face pale blue. 
Jr. Iris blue ; bill dull red at tip, pea-green at base ; skin on face bright king’s yellow. 
Family Meropidji. 
248. Merops sumatranus, Raffl. 
[Native name “ Tampa-Kuro.”] 
249. Nyctiornis amicta (T.). 
[Fairly common, frequenting high forest, where it sits solitary on the lower boughs of trees, making 
short flights after insects. It has a peculiar loud cry which I have often mistaken for the cackling of 
geese, wondering where the latter could be, and quite expecting to see some in one of the native 
campongs. Native name “ Darah leihier,” i. e. “ blood-neck.” Iris straw-yellow.] 
Family Alcediniile. 
250. Alcedo bengalensis, Gm. 252. Alcedo euryzona, T. 
[Native name “Mantis.”] 253. Pelargopsis leucocephala (Gm.). 
251. Alcedo meninting, Horsf. [Iris black ; bill and feet coral-red.] 
254. Ceyx dillwynni, Sharpe. 
[Iris black ; feet and bill coral-red. 
Common. Often will the traveller see a small bright yellow bird pass him in the forest like a little 
express train, whistling as though it were important to let every one know it was coming. Then suddenly
