obtained this liird also on tlio Gunonf;- Ijan in Perak, at ^iodii ft. He fonnd the ins 

 brownish crimson, bill blackish, slaty-horny below, the feet dark brown. " Length 

 oj, wing 2 J, tail If, tarsus 1 inch." This Malayan form of T. striatiis differs from 

 the tviii(!al race in being more greyish, in having two rows of very distinct though 

 small white sjiots across the wings, and smaller white, not fulvous, spots to the tips 

 of the secondaries. Most interesting form as it is, it is only the representative of 

 typical utriatiis on the high moimtains of the Malaccan peninsula, and should only 

 be looked upon as a " subsjiecies." The female is smaller than the male and, I 

 think, a shade more brownish. 



I quite agree with Biittikofer, Grant, and others that it is best to unite the 

 genera Tunli/iitliis and Conjtkociclila. 



143. Alcippe cinerea Blyth. 



Alcippe cinerea Blyth, Joiirn. As. Sor. lieng. xiii. (1844) p. 384 (Singapore). 

 S. Snngei Tahan, very numerous on (innong Tahan, 1.^00 to about 30i)i) ft. 

 The young resembles closely the adult bird. 



144. Alcippe peracensis Sharpe. 



Alcijjpe peracensis Sharpe, P. Z. S. I8S7. p. 439 (Mts. of Perak). 



Equally common on Gunong Tahan, specimens being marked as shot at 1500, 

 between 2000 and .5000, 4000, and r)000— 7000 ft. above the sea. Mr. A. L. Butler 

 obtained it also on Gunong Ijan. The very conspicuous black Hue extending from 

 above the lores to the sides of tlie interseapnlium is not properly developed in 

 the young.
