] 98 Mr. R. B. Sliarpe on Ihe 



in Borneo on the Lawas River, and at Bcnkoka on 

 the north coast of the island. I found it nesting both on 

 the Padas River on the 12th of June, and in Palawan, and 

 got the hen bird on both occasions. The nest, however, and 

 the eggs of the Palawan bird are strikingly different from the 

 Bornean ones. On the Padas the nest was situated about five 

 feet from the ground. It is a firmly made little cup, con- 

 structed of twigs and lined with fine roots, and was placed 

 in a large plant in the xindergrowth. The eggs have the 

 appearance of those of the Garden Warbler of Europe ; they 

 are creamy white, blotched and spotted with brown, and have 

 some large underlying spots of grey, chiefly at the larger end. 



The nest which I found in Palawan forms a great contrast 

 to the neat little structure of the Padas. It is not only 

 smaller, but is inartistically constructed, in the loosest man- 

 ner, of fine roots and spiders' webs fcc, but the whole struc- 

 ture was so frail as almost to fall to pieces. The eggs, 

 though somewhat similar in type of marking to those of 

 the Padas bird, are different in colour, being of a light salmon- 

 pink, broadly blotched with red, and showing smaller spots of 

 red and grey. The markings are chiefly collected round the 

 larger end, and the eggs more resemble those of the Common 

 Flycatcher of Europe. 



I only procured this species on Kina Balu, up to a height of 

 1000 feet.]

Apparently quite the same as specimens from Tenasserim. 

 The female is only a little greyer than the male, and is not 

 quite so deep a black, but there is really very little difference 

 in the sexes.

 at 4000 feet, and again on the second ascent at the same 

 elevation. It ascends Kina Balu to quite 9000 feet; this
