Scojjs lempiji, Sharpe, Cat. B. ii. p. 91. 



Brunei {coll. Treacher) ; Lawas river {coll. Treacher) .

Scops RUFESCENs (Horsf.) , 



Scops rufescens Salvad. t. c. p. 19 ; Sharpe, Cat. B. ii. p. 102.

 ' Ninox borneensis, Bp. ; Salvad. /. c. p. 18. 



Mr. Treacher has sent a single examjile from the Lawas 

 river, which is remarkable, on comparison with his series of 

 Labuan birds, for its extremely dark and uniform chest, as
