242 BIRDS OF THE 



however, two specimens from southern Borneo, belonging 

 to the types of Myiotkera poliogenys Mull. MS., and two 

 specimens from Trusan (A. Everett) with the tail rufous 

 like in our Sumatran specimens; they have, moreover, the 

 crown strongly tinged with rufous, which is not the case 

 with my specimens from the Kapoeas-region. 



Our specimens, both from South and Central Borneo, 

 are, moreover, much more richly tinged with orange rufous 

 on the lower surface than those from Trusan and from 

 Sumatra. The nestling agrees tolerably well with the adult 

 bird in color, but has the back and quills reddish brown. 



Hab. Malay Peninsula, Sumatra and Borneo, where the 

 species seems to be spread over the whole island.

Two females obtained on Mount Liang Koeboeng at an 

 altitude of 900 m. — Iris dark brown, bill black, base of

Adult male and female (No« 1280 and 1223 of my collect-

 ought perhaps to be placed amongst the Wrens.
