 To judge by descriptions this new species must approach 

 C. epilepidota of Sumatra, a species which is only known to 

 me from the tyjoes iu the Leiden Museum. On referring to 

 my characters of these birds given in the * Notes from the 

 Leiden Museum' (vol. vi. p. 172), it would seem that the 

 Kina-Balu bird is much larger and stouter than C. epilepi- 

 dota, and is distinguished by its ochre or tawny-buff under 

 surface, tawny-buif ear-coverts, &c., and many other points, 

 which can be seen at a glance by comparing the descriptions 

 of the two species.
