  Mr. 
  Everett 
  first 
  found 
  this 
  species 
  in 
  Borneo 
  on 
  Mount 
  

   Penrisen 
  {cf. 
  Sharpe, 
  Ibis, 
  1890, 
  p. 
  367). 
  It 
  occurs 
  on 
  

   Mount 
  Dulit 
  at 
  4000 
  feet, 
  and 
  is 
  always 
  found 
  on 
  the 
  peaks 
  

   of 
  the 
  mountains, 
  living 
  an 
  isolated 
  life 
  iu 
  these 
  places. 
  My 
  

   native 
  collectors 
  met 
  with 
  it 
  on 
  Batu 
  Song, 
  where 
  it 
  evidently 
  

   breeds, 
  as 
  they 
  got 
  the 
  young 
  birds. 
  Their 
  elevations 
  are 
  

   given 
  as 
  from 
  4000 
  to 
  7000 
  feet, 
  and 
  though 
  these 
  figures 
  

   must 
  be 
  received 
  with 
  caution, 
  it 
  may 
  be 
  taken 
  for 
  certain 
  

   that 
  the 
  species 
  inhabits 
  the 
  highest 
  peaks 
  on 
  Batu 
  Song. 
  

  

  The 
  young 
  birds 
  differ 
  considerably 
  from 
  the 
  adults. 
  

   They 
  are 
  much 
  duller 
  and 
  browner 
  in 
  colour, 
  and 
  the 
  crown 
  

   is 
  reddish 
  brown 
  instead 
  of 
  bright 
  chestnut. 
  The 
  throat 
  is 
  

   white 
  and 
  the 
  under 
  surface 
  is 
  slaty 
  black. 
  The 
  sexes 
  

   appear 
  to 
  be 
  alike 
  in 
  colour, 
  and 
  a 
  young 
  female 
  is 
  gaining 
  

   the 
  adult 
  plumage 
  by 
  a 
  moulr.

  Discovered 
  on 
  Kiua 
  Balu 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Whitehead, 
  at 
  4000 
  feet. 
  

   I 
  foxmd 
  it 
  on 
  Dulit 
  at 
  the 
  same 
  elevation. 
  It 
  is 
  exceedingly 
  

   rare, 
  and 
  is 
  very 
  hard 
  to 
  find 
  in 
  the 
  jungle, 
  owing 
  to 
  its 
  

   small 
  size, 
  dull 
  coloration, 
  and 
  creeping 
  habits.
