with their head-cloths. If this bird ever frequented the 

 lower altitudes of Kina Balu it has long since been exter- 

 minated by the Dusan rat-traps, which no doubt account for 

 its scarcity at the altitudes which it now frequents. Iris 

 dark brown ; ujjper mandime black, the lower one greyish 

 brown at base ; legs dark brown.] 



I only met with this species at from 7000 to 9000 feet, 

 where it frequented the dark and damp patches of forest, 

 amongst the wet moss-covered fallen trunks of large trees, 

 where this peculiar bird was found singly. The first indi- 

 vidual of this species I took for a mouse, as it crept about 

 within a few yards of my feet; it was quite ten minutes 

 before I could get a shot, the bird following me for several 

 yards.]
