The type-locality of Timalia maculatus, Temm. PI. Col. 

 593, fig. 1, 1836, is quoted as Borneo and Sumatra, and we 

 here I'estrict it to Borneo. 



"^ Erythrocichla bicolor whitehead!. 

 Hartert, Bull. B. O. C. xxxvi. 1915, p. 36. 



Two females from Auyut Paku, Saribas, south-western 

 Sumatra, and a series of twenty from all parts of the Malay 

 Peninsula, from Trang to Pahang, confirms Dr. Hartert^s 

 diagnosis as to the duller forehead of the Bornean bird. 

 One specimen, however, a male from Gurun, near Kedah 

 Peak, central Malay Peninsula, approaches the Bornean 

 birds very closely indeed in this respect. 



-f Macronus ptilosus reclusus. 

 Hartert, Bull. B. O. C. xxxvi. 1915, p. 36. 



Six specimens from various parts of Sarawak maintain 

 the distinctness of this race in having no slaty-grey patch in 

 the middle of the abdomen, and in having the crown of the 

 head of a brighter rufous than in the Malayan and Suma- 

 tran bird. In addition, the Bornean birds have a marked 

 light fulvescent patch on the fore-neck, which is only pre- 

 sent to a very minor extent m our Malayan series of over 

 twenty specimens. 



^> Xanthiscus flavescens vivida. 

 Stuart Baker, Bull. B. O. C. xxxviii. 1917, p. 16. 



V\'e have never met with this form in any part of the 

 Malay Peninsula (where it is stated to be foTind by its 

 describer) south of the Isthmus of Kra, nor are we aware of 

 any record of its occurrence within this area. 



-*- lole virescens cinnamomeoventris. 

 Stuart Baker, Bull. B. O. C. xxxviii. 1917, p. 16. 



Four specimens, two males and two females, from Chong, 

 Trang, peninsular Siam, collected in December 1909 by 

 ourselves, agree well with the diagnosis of this race, and 

 have the wings — 82, 83, 81, 79 mm.
