No locality given; probably from neighbourhood of Sarawak. 

 Example sent uudistinguishable from Malaccan and Burman 

 (Tongboo) individuals. Sumatrau individuals are considered to 

 belong to the same species (Schlegel, /. c.) .

Although also given by Bonaparte from Malaiasia, the only 

 examples in the Leyden Museum were from Borneo. Of a paler 

 and ruddier brown than Malaccan individuals I have examined. 

 Underneath, the broader centres are almost bright rufous, and 

 occupy more of each feather, less white being thus apparent than 

 in N. scutellatus (Rafl3.) = N. malayensis, Eyton, or in any other 

 of the alHed forms. Dimensions less than those of the Ceylon, 

 South-Indian, Assaui, Burmau, or Malaccan species. Four caudal 

 bands are present.
