Ornithology of Borneo. 15 



c. ^ . Santubong bay. Iris white ; legs dark leaden grey. 



[Extremely common at Santubong, Rejang, Bruit, in the 

 shore-jungle and Casuarina-h&li, and also at Belidah and Sibu 

 in second-growth jungle; and I have observed it on the Si- 

 rambu mountains at a height of 1000 feet. The iris is white 

 or yellowish white ; culmen and tip of maxilla slaty black, 

 rest of beak bluish ; legs and feet leaden blue ; ccsca coli 

 small, ellipsoid, adherent ; tongue triangular, pointed, and 

 finely slit along its anterior margins ; testes minute (July), 

 pyriform, yellow. A female shot on a MeJastoma-hvi^h. at 

 Sibu in August had the gizzard full of minute coleoptera; in 

 a male shot at Belidah in July the stomach contained seeds 

 and various small insects. — A. E.]

Mr. Everett has brought a pair of this Phyllornis, which 

 differs from the allied P. icterocephala from Malacca and 

 Sumatra in having the back of the neck greenish, this latter 

 colour extending onto the crown, and leaving only the fore 

 part of the head yellow. In P. icterocephala, of which I 

 have a good series now before me, the whole crown is bright 

 yellow, shading off into dull orange on the nape. The fe- 

 males of the two species are very different, that of the Bornean 

 bird being quite green above. Count Salvadori duly notices 

 the differences between the above-mentioned birds, but does 

 not consider them specific. As, however, they are very con-
