According to Horsfield {1. c.) this bird is confined to the 
higher ranges of the hills, never descending below about 
7000 feet. He further states that it builds its nest on high pw 
trees and feeds on berries and fruits or vegetables !! From 
existing evidence, however, it would appear that Pomatorhini 
are purely insectivorous in their food. 
In Borneo and Malacca this species is replaced by the fob 
lowing smaller and distinct race. 
2. PoMATORHINUS BORNEENSIS. 
Pomatorhinus borneensis, Cabanis, Mus. Heineanum, i. 
p. 84 (1850). 
Pomatorhinus montanus^ Horsfield, S. Muller, Verb, over de 
Nat. Gesch. Nederl. overz. Bez., Land- en Volkenk. p. 405. 
Pomatorhinus borneensis^ Cab., Salvad.Ucc. diBorn. p. 210. 
Specimens from Borneo are identical with those from Ma¬ 
lacca, and differ from the Javan P. montanus in being con¬ 
stantly much smaller, in the upper parts being rather brighter, 
and in the secondaries, tertiaries, and tail being olive-brown 
above instead of chestnut-brown.
