No. 960, ? . Hoedjoeng, 3000 feet, Jan. 28, 1881. Irides 

 very dark brown ; bill grey ; legs and feet purplish grey. 



This I believe to be the first recorded occurrence of the 

 species in the island of Sumatra ; but as it breeds in Eastern 

 Siberia, and migrates through China to Malacca and Borneo, 

 its appearance in Sumatra was quite to be expected.

 Brit. Mus. iv. p. 369. 



No. 380 S • Mount Dempo in low scrub at 3800 feet, 

 May 9, 1881. Irides deep brown; upper mandible black, 

 lower one pale grey or sooty grey at tip ; legs and feet sooty 

 black. 



This species, like the foregoing, has not been noticed from 

 Sumatra before, but was a likely bird to occur in the island.
