This Ilopnbill was dcsoribed by Temminck in Ms Planches Coloriées, but net ligurcd ; and tbo
female was also given in the same work as a distinct species under tlio n ame of B«ceros gmcHk.
I t is a natiye of Malacca, Sumatra, and Borneo, Tory rare in coUections ; and nothmg is Itnown
of its cconomy or habits in the wild state. A specimen liying in the London Zoological Gar-dons
was stated by Mr . Sclater (I. 0.) to have the end of the tail-feathers whi t e instead of rufous ; I have
also noticed this as occurring i n occasional specimens, but am inclined to regard it as only an
indiTidual pecuharity, as the major i t y of the examples that I bavo seen have had tlie end of the
rectriccs rufous or light chestnut. Salvadori, in liis fino work on the Birds of Borneo ( I c.), states
t h a t the male of thi s species has the bare skin of the throat canary-yellow, and the iris dark rod,
while the iris of the female is yellowish brown.
I n the 'Proceedings of t h e Zoological Society of London' for 1869, Mr . Bart lct t gives a n account
of the sac, containing undigested food, cast up by a I lornbiU of this spccics, at tliat time an
inmate of the Gardens in Ecgent ' s P a r k This curious object was submitted to Ur. Muric for
e i a m i n a t i o n , who ascertained it to bo simply the " thickencd semichondrified lining memln-anc
of the gizzard. All the puekcr ings and indentations were more or less cxact l y represented, thougli
less sharp in outline than is ordinarily the case. The mucous surface of the inner wall of the hag
was slimy, otherwise perfectly identical with the same structure in a healthy bird. The surface
outside, on which might he said to be the submucous tissue, was moist, comparatively uninjured.
