Pachvcephala cyanea (Hume) ; Gadow, Cat. Birds Brit. Mus., viii.,

Niltava leiicoprocta (Tweedd.) ; Sharpe (3), p. 272. 



Cyornis concretus (Midi.) ; Hartert, p. 549 ; Grant (2), p. 37. 



Another characteristic bird of the mo\intaiu bamboo jungle. I 

 have before me seven skins from Ginting Bidei, collected in November 

 and Ma}^ and a single male from the Semaugko Pass, shot in April. 

 Evidently a rare and local species, as besides these specimens only three 

 others on record from the Malay Peninsula. I regard the occurrence 

 of the species at as low an elevation as 500-1,000 ft. on Gunong 

 Tahan (Grant, Joe. cit.) as purely accidental.

Siphia iinicolor iufuscata (Blyth) ; Hartert, p. 215. 



Siphia uuicolor, SJiarj^e, Cat., p. 446. 



Four specimens before me ( (^ ? , Ginting Bidei, October and May ; 

 (^ , Bukit Arang, Selangor, 500 ft. ; ? , Gunong Tahan, 3,300 ft., June) 

 agree with Dr. Hartert's remarks on the subject, in that the males are 

 of small size (wing, 76-87 mm.) and very brightly colovired. 



98, CYOItXIS TICKELLI.E-TICKELV^ BLUE FLYCATCHER. 



Siphia tickellise (Blyth) ; Shmye, Cat., p. 447. 



Cyornis tickelliae, Butler, p. 18. 



Fairly abundant at the Semangko Pass in February and at Ginting 

 Bidei in May. From the latter locality young birds in mottled plum- 

 age were obtained, so that the breeding season is probably in April. 



99. XITIDULA HODGSOXI-THE PIG5IY BLUE FLYCATCHER. 



Tarsiger hodgsoni (Moore) ; Sharpe, Cat., p. 258. 



Nitidula hodgsoni, Butler, p. 18. 



Two males shot on the hills above the Semangko Pass in February, 

 1908, and Butler's specimen from 4,500 ft. on the Larut Hills are the 

 only records for the Malav Peninsula.
