rest and dead trees in the cocoa fields. _=Calyptomena viridis gloriosa=_ Deignan: Green Broadbill.--_Specimens_, 10: Cocoa Research Station: [Female], 67.4 gm., August 1, 1962, MCT 2698; [Female], 53.2 gm., September 16, 1962, MCT 2927; [Female], May 6, 1963, ADG 106; [Male], June 18, 1963, ADG 148; [Female] by plumage, June 26, 1963, ADG 164. 12 mi. N Kalabakan: [Female], October 12, 1962, MCT 3015; [Female], October 20, 1962, MCT 3098; [Male], October 22, 1962, MCT 3122. Oil Palm Research Station: [Female], August 15, 1963, ADG 240. Pintasan: [Male], October 16, 1963, ADG 310. Sight records of this species are evidently a poor indication of its abundance, because I saw but one in the field at the Cocoa Research Station, a male sitting in the top of cocoa tree about eight feet up. All the specimens were netted, and the number so taken indicates not only that the species is common but also that it frequents the lower levels of the forest as well as the tops of tall trees (as noted by Smythies, 1960:339). _=Cymbirhynchus macrorhynchus macrorhynchus=_ (Gmelin): Black-and-Red Broadbill.--_Specimens_, 2: Kalabakan: [Male], November 16, 1962, MCT 3296. Tiger Estate: [Male], November 25, 1962, MCT 3321. This species was seen only at Kalabakan, where I caught two in one net in dense secondary forest. _=Eurylaimus ochromalus ochromalus=_ Raffles: Black-and-Yellow Broadbill.--_Specimens_, 9: Cocoa Research Station: [Male], 32.0 gm., July 28, 1962, MCT 2682; [Male], 32.0 gm., August 1, 1962, MCT 2747; [Male], 33.8 gm., August 10, 1962, MCT 2753; [Female], 34.0 gm., September 11, 1962, MCT 2892; [Male], 34.7 gm., September 14, 1962, MCT 2926; [Female], September 26, 1962, MCT 2968; [Male], April 27, 1963, ADG 71. Agricultural Station Gum-Gum: [Female], September 26, 1963, ADG 284. Pintasan Agriculture Station: [Female], October 16, 1963, ADG 311. This broadbill was common at the Cocoa Research Station in cocoa fields and adjacent secondary forest; it was never seen in primary forest. On September 4, 1962, I saw 10 to 15 in the cocoa, moving in a loose flock. The birds uttered call notes and at the same time bowed their heads sharply, as if to emphasize the call. Frequent supplanting, attacks, and other aggressive interactions were seen. The species was heard and observed also at a place 12 miles north of Kalabakan, at the edge of, but
