(? , 2 ? . Semaiigko Pass, 3,000-4,000 ft. February, 1898. 



The type specimen was collected ou Gunong Ijau on the Larut 

 Range at about 4,000 ft. and remained imique until the above three 

 specimens were obtained. The nest was also secured among roots and 

 rubbish beneath an overhanging bank at the side of a path ; it was the 

 usual deep cup-shaped structure ciiaracteristic of the smaller Fly- 

 catchers and contained a nestling of the Drongo Cuckoo (Sariiicidn.'s 

 lugii.bri.^). The male parent was shot in the immediate vicinity of the 

 nest.

Cryptolopha davisoni, Sharpe, P.Z.S., 1888, p. 271 ; Grant (2), p. 35. 

 Guuoug Meiigkuang Lebali, 4,800 ft. March, 1907. 

 In company with C. trivirgata, but much rarer.

Cryptolopha schwaueri (Blyth) ; Sharpe, Cat., p. 403; id., in 

 Whitehead's Kinabalu, p. 214 (1892). 



Semaiigko Pass, 3,000 ft. February ; Giutiug Bidci, 2,300 ft. October and 

 May. 



Common in bamboo jungle in the above localities, but hitherto 

 overlooked. 



The main distinction between this s]>ecies and the closely allied 

 Ahrornis superciliaris from Tenasserim lies in the greyish black, not 

 brown lores, and in the greater extent of the grey crown. 



The specimen of A. super ciliaris in the British Museum referred to 

 by Gates (Faun. Brit. Ind. Bii'ds, i., p. 430) requires re-examination. 

 If the identification is correct, there is probably some mistake in 

 locality as it is in the highest degree unlikely that any bird of the 

 genus occurs in the island.

Apparently somewhat rare and local in the Malay Peumsula. The 

 only other specimens in the Selangor Museum are : one shot by Mr. 

 A. L. Butler at Kuala Lumpur in March, 1900, and one from Telom, 

 November, 1908.
