Ornithology of Northern Borneo. 191 



[Apparently the only species fonnd on Kina Balu, as A. 

 sumatrensis was not met with. It is found between 3000 

 and 5000 feet, frequenting the old forest, but it is by no 

 means a common bird anywhere. Bill, feet, and iris black.]

The females are not so closely barred with black on the 

 under tail-coverts as in the Palawan female obtained by 

 Mr. Whitehead. 



[Iris straw-yellow ; bill and feet black, the soles of the 

 latter yellow, Tlie only place that I met with this species 

 in Borneo was in Benkoka, where I found a few individuals, 

 always flying very high; indeed it was some time before I 

 succeeded in getting specimens, all of which were shot from 

 very high trees.] 



44. Chlamydoch^ra jefferyi.

The males scarcely vary at all in tint, but some are rather 

 greyer towards the nape than others, and the throat is a little 

 deeper buff" in some individuals. In my description of the 

 female I have not noticed the grey at the base of the pri- 

 maries, which forms a very distinct small speculum. There 

 is a slight diff'erence in the richness of the buff" of the throat, 

 and the back is browner in some specimens. 



Young males have the secondaries edged with white at tlie 

 ends, and the black spots are very small. The wing-coverts 

 are also tipped with ochreous-buif spots. 



[Found on my first expedition at about 3000 feet, and they 

 were, so far as we observed, always feeding on berries. On 

 my second ascent I found the species as high as 8000 feet ; 

 it is strictly a forest bird, and decidedly local. Iris light 

 reddish brown; bill black; feet darkish brown.]
