252 BIRDS OF THE 



Phyllopneuste javanica et magnirostris Salvad. Ucc. Born. p. 244. 

 Phylloscopus borealis Everett, L. B. Born. p. 96. 



A number of specimens obtained at Smitau, Mounts Ke- 

 nepai and Liang Koeboeng between December 8^^ and 

 April 27tli, in low jungle. Also 12 specimens obtained by 

 Dr. Nieuwenhuis on the Upper Mahakkam (Oct. 24'li to 

 Dec. 23id 1898). Most of these latter have the feathers 

 much abraded and the white tips on the wing-coverts in 

 most of the specimens wanting. There is no difiereuce to 

 be observed in the obtained specimens with regard to the 

 date at which they were shot, but two of them, both shot 

 at Smitau, probably younger birds, are greener above and 

 tinged with yellow on the superciliary streak and on the 

 throat and breast, while in one of them the greater wing- 

 coverts are moreover tipped with white. — Iris black, bill 

 brown, lower mandible flesh-color at the base, feet flesh- 

 color. 



This species breeds in the J^lorth of Eastern Asia and 

 is only a winter visitor in Borneo, where it is recorded 

 from North-west and North Borneo (Beccari, Everett, Ussher, 

 Whitehead), and from Pontianak (Mus. Lugd.).

A single specimen obtained on January 31** on Mount 

 Kenepai. — Upper surface lively olive-green, lower surface

 seems, rarely found as a winter visitor in Borneo. Laboeau, 

 N. E. Borneo (Low, Treacher), Kina Balu (Whitehead).
