 and H. capitalis. 



[Iris, bill, and feet black. Found on Kina Balu from 

 3000 to 4000 feet, frequenting the lower growth in search 

 of food. This is a difficult bird to preserve, the skin being 

 so tender. It is not a Flycatcher in its habits, but is a 

 thorough Wood Shrike, like Tephrodonds. I noticed them 

 in small families of four or five together, but they were not 

 met with above 4000 feet altitude.]

The sexes are exactly alike in plumage, and in all Mr. 

 Whitehead's series there is scarcely any variation in tint, 

 some being browner and others more rufous. Canon Tristram 

 has kindly lent me the type of Platylophus lemprieri, Nichol- 

 son (Ibis, 1883, p. 88), which is apparently a good species. 



[I have met with this bird only in the low growth of the 

 forests, as high as 3000 feet on Kina Balu. I also procured 

 it at Benkoka.]

The young bird is like the female, but with remains of ashy 

 whitish edges to the feathers of the abdomen, while the under 

 tail-coverts and under wing-coverts are barred with white. 

 The female is very closely allied to Artamides concretus of 

 Java, but the latter has an evident white quill-lining. Its 

 nearest ally is doubtless A. mehmocephalus (Salvadori), 

 i'roui Mount Sinsfalan in Sumatra.
