3. lole olivacea Blytb. 



Three nudes were obtained. They are to be considered typical lole olivacea, 

 but Bornean specimens are much more rufous on the u]iper surface and tail, and 

 somewhat more brownish on the chest. They should be called lole olimcca churlottac 

 Finsch. 



4. Stachyris davisoni Shurpc 



One S, Maxwell's Hill, 'ZWi) feet. " Iris gulden yellow, shading into an outer 



circle of pale crimson ; bill above blackish, below slate-colour ; feet greyish 



olive." The bird described by Hartert as St. imtunensis cannot be satisfactorily 



separated from St. dacisoni (Nov. Zool. II. p. 466). The late Mr. Everett 

 collected it also on the Lingga Isiauils, south of Singapore. 



•">. Stachyridopsis chrysaea subsp. 



Specimens from Perak are decidedly dnller in colour than typical St. chrysaea 

 from the Himalayas. They should probaldy be called St. chrysaea assimilis or 

 ■S^ chrysaea bocayei, Ijoth names being most likely synonyms. A comparison with 

 the types in Wardlaw Kamsay's collection and in the Museo Civico in Genoa should 

 be made, before deciding about it. 



6. Phyllergates cucullatus (Temm.). 



There is no character by which to distinguish Ph. cinercicolli-'< Sh., if a series 

 is compared. 



7. Cisticola beavani (Wakl.). 



Two skins from Gunoug Ijau are rather paler and less rufescent than North 

 Indian and Burmese examples. A larger series should be studied. 



8. Niltava grandis Hodgs. 



One S and one ? juv., Gunoug Ijau. The muh' is of the same colour as typical 

 A', qrandi.s, but tail and wings are about 1 cm. shorter ! More specimens are 

 required to find out whether these differences are constant or not, but the smaller 

 size of the Perak specimens is rather striking. 



U. Digenea malayaua Sbarpe. 



One S in March, ? in Ajiril. They bear out Sharpe's note, and agree entirely 

 with each other in colour, except tiuit the male is slightly deeper rufous and its 

 breast more brown. Iris brown; bill blackish, below greyish: feet and claws fleshy 

 white. Ganong Ijau, at 4UU() feet. 6 wing (iT,t;ul .5o mm.: ? wing ()4,tail 48 mm. 

 (Cf. Sharpe, P. Z. S. pp. 247, 272.) 



111. Rhipidiu'a albicollis (Vieill.). 



The wliite tips to the iatenil rectrices are much wider than in any other 

 specimen seen, it would be remarkable if this was a constant character of the 

 Perak form, as the Bornean specimens agree with Indian ones with regard to the 

 extension of white in the tail, as otherwise.
