dull, and incline to purplish in tint. This species appears to me to 

 he a thorough Chibia, and I do not at present see how naturalists 

 can avoid recognizing the existence of Chibia in the Malay archi- 

 pelago ; nor do I understand how the Indian and Malayan species 

 are to he separated, when such a perfect gradation is now offered 

 hy C. borneensis and G. pectoralis. Under these circumstances I 

 helieve that Salvadori's genus LHcruropsis, which I was lately in- 

 clined to admit (Mittheil. k. zool. Mus. Dresd. iii. p. 360), cannot 

 he sustained ; and I therefore revert to my old opinion concerning 

 these hirds (Cat. B. iii. p. 234). I have given this species the name 

 of borneensis to celehrate the addition of a Chibia to the avifauna of 

 .Borneo. Mr. Treacher has also procured a single specimen of it on 

 the Lawas river. 



The young hird from Kina Balu differs from the adult in heing 

 duller black, with fewer and less metallic chest- spots and hackles.

The presence of white on the facial region of a species of grey 

 Buchanga would seem to ally it at once to B. leucogenys. In the 

 Bornean bird, however, of which I have three specimens before me, 

 the white is confined to a large loral spot in front of the eye, where- 

 as in B. leucogenys the eyebrow and ear-coverts, as well as the 

 feathers below the eye, are also white or whitish. The new species 

 is also of the same dark grey as B. leucophxca (B. cineracea of my 

 Catalogue, iii. p. 250), and not of the light pearly grey which is 

 another character of B. leucogenys. One specimen was contained in 

 Mr. Burhidge's collection, and two in Mr. Treacher's.
