•2^2 Elliot oh Birds from Northeast Borneo. [October 



1 Kinabatangan River, December, 1SS7. Iris dark red. Found in wooded 

 places near rivers. Seems to prefer spots where there is little under- 

 growth to interfere with short cross flights. It is rather restless, twisting 

 from side to side on its perch, causing the spatulate ends of the long outer 

 tail feathers to appear as objects hovering behind the bird, since the 

 shaft between the broad tip and the basal part of the feather is so narrow 

 as to be invisible at a short distance. — C F. A. j
