it is resident and breeds on the island. The female with the 

 white under surface striped with brown was shot from the 

 nest on the 15th of December. It was pau-ed with a black 

 male, and the nest contained one large white egg, which has 

 since been unfortunately broken. Nos. 579 and 576, from 

 Tampassuk, were a pair, with a nest and eggs. The male is 

 nearly uniform chocolate-brown, while the female is light 

 brown below, streaked with black.]

[This is a beautiful adult bird, and was the only one I saw 

 in Borneo. Mr. Wallace had previously procured a speci- 

 men in Sarawak, but no one else seems to have met with it. 

 I consider it to be probably only a visitor to Borneo during 

 the N.E. monsoon, as, had it been a resident, I think I must 

 have noticed it on other occasions. My single specimen was 

 procured on my first expedition to Kina Balu at a height of 

 about 1000 feet. Iris dark brown ; feet and cere pale 

 chrome-yellow.]

[The male from the Padas had the iris hazel and the feet 

 and cere king's-yellow. The younger male has the soft parts 

 exactly as in the old bird. Not seen on Kina Balu, but 

 frequently observed on the large plains near the sea-coast, 

 where I have seen it beating low over the hill-sides.]
