[I met with this bird on Kina Balu at a height of 1000 

 feet in the middle of March 1887. Both specimens procured 

 on that occasion were adult females ; and on my second 

 expedition I met with a male bird in February 1888 at a 

 precisely similar altitude. All had well-developed crests. 



In Palawan I only obtained a single specimen^ a young 

 male, on the 14th of September. The cere and feet were 

 pale yellow, and the iris light straw-yellow. This specimen 

 was shot at Taguso, on the coast, so that, so far as my ob- 

 servations go, this Goshawk is not found at any great 

 elevation.]
