could only obtain a single pair. I did not see it above 3000 

 feet.]

[Found at 3000 feet on Kiua Balu. I also met with it in 

 Malacca in December and again in Labuan in the same 

 mouth. It is probably only a visitor in the N.W. monsoon.

[Evidently only a visitant in Northern Borneo. I first 

 saw it on Kina Balu on the 20th of March, on my first ex- 

 pedition, and on my second ascent I met with the species 

 almost on the same day of the month. On both occasions 

 it was seen at about 3000 feet altitude, and was not observed 

 higher up the mountain.]

[Bill black ; iris black ; legs dirty white. This small Fly- 

 catcher is fairly plentiful between 4000 and 8000 feet on 

 Kina Balu, though I did not meet with it on my first expe- 

 dition. The nest is a neat little moss-lined cup ; it is 

 generally placed, with considerable talent for concealment, 

 right in the loose moss which grows along the trees in pro- 

 fusion. In structure the nest itself is so exactly similar 

 to the mass of moss in which it is placed as almost to escape 

 observation, the entrance being merely a small hole in the 

 side of the overhanging moss. On the 22nd of March I 

 found a nest with two white eggs, the latter so hard-set as
