Flight direct and strong. Like the other Barbets, it is a 
voracious feeder on all kinds of fruit. The feet and tarsus 
are coloured greyish-green. 
Mesobucco duvauceli, Less. 
(The Small Malayan Barbet.) 
Common ; chiefly seen during the dry season—probably 
because it has more difficulty in finding food at that time. 
One of the commonest Barbets. The feet are greyish- 
green, zygodactylous, with black claws. A voracious 
feeder on fruit and flies, with the typical undulating flight 
of a Barbet; Iris dark brown. 
Gecinus observandus, Hart. 
(The Bornean Crimson-winged Green Woodpecker .) 
The upper mandible is black, the lower blue grey. 
Miglyptes grammithorax, Malk. 
(The Fulvous-rumped Barred Woodpecker.) 
The bill is black. 
September 2 5th, 1912.—Shot a female. The iris was- 
black. 
December QZnd, 1912.—The iris is certainly very dark, 
but it has a distinct reddish tinge in a good light. This 
was a female also. 
Miglyptes tukki, Less. 
(The Buff-necked Barred Woodpecker.) 
A common bird, and its shrill screech may often be 
heard from the tops of tall trees. The maxilla is black, 
mandible blue-grey ; feet and tarsus greenish-brown; the 
oil-gland has a small tuft; iris deep red. 
Hemicercus sordidus, Eyton. 
(The Grey and Buff Woodpecker.) 
A tiny woodpecker; not very common, I think, but pro¬ 
bably keeps well out of sight. The bill is dark grey, 
squared off at the tip and sharp. There is a decided crest 
at the back of the head, which gives it a hammer-head 
look. Iris dark red.
