Collection of Birds from Northern Borneo. 373 



and with little doubt I refer it to Mr. Strickland's species, which, 

 although closely resembling the preceding species, P. ardens, 

 apud nos, is described by him as not exceeding P. peregi'inus in 

 size. P. igneus, Blyth, J. A. S. B. 1846, p. 309, may possibly be 

 this form ; for it likewise is described as being barely larger 

 than P. peregrinus ; but it may be equal to P. ardens, apud 

 nos. If identical with this Bornean bird, Mr. Blyth's title 

 will have precedence [conf. BIyth, Ibis, 1866, p. 369, and op. 

 cit. 1867, p. 184).

Vicinity of Sarawak ? 



One male in the collection. Sumatran, Malaccan, and Bor- 

 nean examples do not differ. 



With doubt I follow Mr. Moore and the late Mr. G. R. Gray, 

 and place this Flycatcher in Philentoma, Eyton.

" Foot of Matang, $ , iris white, legs and bill cobalt ; Marup, 

 cJ, iris brown." 



The female is in dingy rufous plumage with a grey throat. 

 The male in pure white, the black of the shafts of the central pair 

 of rectrices extending to their tips. In a white Sarawak male 

 (Wallace) the terminal half of the shafts are white, as in T. pa- 

 radisi, excepting within half an inch of the end, where they are 

 black. In a Pinang example a similar variation is observable. 

 One from Sumatra has the entire shaft black. 



Cyornis elegans (Temm.), PI. Col. 596. f. 2, "Sumatra"

" Marup, in August, 6 , iris chocolate, legs lead-colour." 

 I provisionally identify a single example obtained of a Cyornis
