16 Mr. R. B. Sharpe's Contributions to the 



stant in a large series, I think it better to give the Bornean 

 bird a name. 



Phylloscopus borealis. Bias. 

 Phylloneuste javanica, Salvad. t. c. p. 24J?. 



a. Tuban branch of Bintulu river. Iris brown ; bill brown, 

 the lower mandible yellow ; legs and feet pale sienna. 



b. ? . Bintulu. Iris brown ; legs pale transparent brown. 

 I am indebted for a determination of this species to Mr. H. 

 Seebohm. 



Prinia superciliaris, Salvad. t. c. p. 249. 



a. $ . Bintulu. Iris brown ; legs warm brown. 



[Lives in the thick lalang grass. — A. E.] 



Orthotomus ATRiGULARis, Tcmm. ; Salvad. t. c. p. 249. 



a,b. c? ? . Bintulu. Iris dark ochreous; legs pale brown; 

 bill darker brown. 



Having compared the pair collected by Mr. Everett with 

 Malaccan examples of 0. flavo-viridis, Moore, I have no doubt 

 as to their identity; and at the same time, as these birds 

 are referable to the Bornean 0. atrigularis, Temm., the latter 

 title consequently becomes the oldest name for 0. flavo- 

 viridis. 



Mr. Everett has not met with this species before. As 

 might be expected, the sexes are not " sirailar,^^ as stated by 

 Temminck, but are in reality quite different, the female 

 wanting the black throat, and having the tail rather more 

 distinctly marked with a subterminal spot of dark brown. 



AcROCEPHALUS oRiENTALis (T. & S.) ; Salvad. t. c. 13. 251. 

 a. $. Bintulu. Iris pale wood-brown; legs lead-grey; 

 bill horn -brown ; interior of gape orange. Diptera in gizzard. 

 Procured during the N.E. monsoon. 



PrIONOCHILUS EVERETTI, Sp. n. 



P. similis P. obsoleto, sed supra saturate bruuneus, nee oli- 



vaceo lavatus : gutture bruunescente, nee albo, et rec- 



tricibus externis concoloribus distinguendus. Long. tot. 



3*7, culm. 0*4, alse 2*25, caudse 1'3, tarsi 055. 



This apparently new species is closely alHed to P. obsoletus
