  Notes

  Mr. 
  A.

  Everett's 
  Collections 
  of 
  Birds 
  

   from 
  Northern 
  Borneo 
  and 
  Sarawak. 
  

  

  Among 
  the 
  collections 
  recently 
  sent 
  home 
  by 
  my 
  friend 
  

   Mr. 
  A. 
  H. 
  Everett 
  there 
  are 
  several 
  species 
  deserving 
  of 
  

   notice^ 
  and 
  one 
  or 
  two 
  new 
  to 
  the 
  Avifauna 
  of 
  Borneo. 
  

  

  1. 
  Falco 
  communis, 
  Gm. 
  : 
  Everett, 
  J.

   Branch, 
  1889, 
  p. 
  186. 
  

  

  A 
  female 
  from 
  Pappan 
  Island, 
  Labuan, 
  Feb. 
  1892. 
  This 
  

   is 
  the 
  true 
  Peregrine 
  Falcon 
  of 
  northern 
  latitudes, 
  and 
  has 
  

   evidently 
  been 
  shot 
  in 
  its 
  winter-quarters. 
  It 
  is 
  not 
  the 
  

   dark 
  form 
  of 
  Peregrine 
  which 
  occurs 
  in 
  Java 
  and 
  the 
  other 
  

   Indo-Malayan 
  islands, 
  which 
  has 
  been 
  identified 
  by 
  Mr. 
  

   Gurney 
  and 
  others 
  with 
  F. 
  melanogenys 
  of 
  Australia.

  adult 
  bird

  the 
  Lower 
  Kinabatangan 
  River,

  Scops 
  mantananensis,

   The 
  two 
  typical 
  specimens 
  of 
  this 
  pretty 
  eared 
  Owlet 
  were 
  

  

  procured 
  on 
  the 
  island 
  of 
  Mantanani 
  in 
  December 
  1891. 
  It 
  

   is 
  surprising 
  to 
  find 
  an 
  isolated 
  form 
  of 
  Scops 
  in 
  such 
  a 
  

   southern 
  locality, 
  where 
  its 
  nearest 
  ally 
  is 
  Scops 
  elegans 
  of 
  

   the 
  Japanese 
  islands. 
  It 
  much 
  resembles 
  the 
  last-named 
  

   bird, 
  but 
  is 
  more 
  broadly 
  streaked 
  with 
  black 
  below, 
  and 
  is 
  

   easily 
  recognized 
  by 
  the 
  white 
  tips 
  to 
  the 
  wing-coverts 
  

   forming 
  a 
  double 
  band. 
  

  

  4. 
  Anthipes 
  olivacea 
  (Hume) 
  : 
  Gates, 
  B.

  p.

   Two 
  specimens 
  are 
  sent 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Everett, 
  one 
  from 
  Bongon 
  

  

  and 
  the 
  other 
  from 
  Marudu 
  River 
  in 
  Northern 
  Borneo. 
  I 
  

   cannot 
  separate 
  the 
  Bornean 
  specimens 
  from 
  typical 
  examples 
  

   from 
  Tenasserim. 
  Mr. 
  Gates 
  likewise 
  gives 
  Java 
  and 
  Borneo 
  

   as 
  a 
  habitat. 
  Javan 
  birds 
  are 
  in 
  the 
  Museum, 
  but 
  do 
  not 
  

   seem 
  to 
  me 
  to 
  be 
  strictly 
  identical 
  with 
  the 
  Tenasserim 
  birds 
  ; 
  

   but 
  there 
  is 
  no 
  example 
  of 
  this 
  species 
  from 
  Borneo, 
  and 
  it 
  

   is 
  not 
  included 
  in 
  Mr. 
  Everett's 
  list. 
  So 
  far 
  as 
  I 
  know, 
  this 
  

   is 
  the 
  first 
  record 
  of 
  it 
  for 
  the 
  island.
