Myiophoneus horneensis Slater, Ibis 1885, p. 123; Sharpe, Ibis 1887, 

 p. 444; id. id. 1889, p. 269; Everett, L. B. Born. p. 98; Ch. Hose,

A matched pair of this species (N*^» 986 and 1091), be- 

 longing to the nest and eggs described below, were obtained 

 near my station »Poenan-Grot", on the western slope of 

 the Liang Koeboeng Mountain, on April \A^^ and 23'^ (the 

 female caught on the nest) and a second female, also adult, 

 in the same locality. 



As Dr. Sharpe already pointed out (Ibis 1887, p. 444), 

 the first description of this species, by Mr. Slater, is made 

 after an immature bird with the white drops on the lower 

 surface, which reminds much the corresponding parts in 

 our European Nutcracker. Dr. Sharpe considers the present 

 species to be nearly allied with M. Blighi from Ceylon, but
