SOME NOTES ON BIRDS IN SARAWAK. 
Eudynamis honorata, Linn. 
(The Black Indian Cuckoo .) 
The bill is black; the feet and tarsus are blue-grey; iris 
black. 
Rhopodytes borneensis, Sharpe. 
(The Bornean Green-hilled Malkoha.) 
Quite common; it may often be seen clambering 
awkwardly in low jungle, and making short flights, giving 
a few beats with the wings and then gliding. Its food is 
chiefly insects caught on the leaves and branches. The 
bill is green (black inside); the iris is a milky-blue colour. 
Rhopodytes chloroph^ia, Raffl. 
(Raffles' Green-billed Malkoha.) 
Common; usually seen near water clambering about the 
smaller branches of trees searching for insects, on which 
it lives, and making short flights—making a few beats of 
the wings and then gliding. The bill is a dull green, and 
the naked skin round the eye much the same colour; feet 
and tarsus blue-grey. 
Urococcyx microrhinus, Berlep. 
(The Large Bornean Malkoha.) 
Fairly common ; it feeds on insects and beetles, and is 
usually seen clambering about in low jungle; it has a 
slow flapping-flight. The bill is pale green, but the base 
of the maxilla and most of the mandible are a deep red; 
this patch includes the nostril in the maxilla. The feet 
and tarsus are grey, dirty yellow in the soles ; iris orange- 
yellow. 
Calorhamphus fuliginosus, Temm. 
(The Bornean Red-throated Barhet.) 
Common in Upper Sarawak. 
July 15 th, 1912.—Shot a female. Iris yellow-brown ; 
legs coral red; claws black-grey; the ovaries were not 
well-developed. 
Chotorhea mystacophanes, Temm. 
(The Gaudy Barhet.) 
Very common, and may often be seen in numbers feed¬ 
ing in any fruit tree. The iris is black or dark brown; 
the claws are black. The note is a curious cooing whistle.
