  Bornean 
  Notes. 
  

  

  in 
  the 
  island. 
  The 
  only 
  specimen 
  of 
  E. 
  calonyx 
  from 
  Borneo 
  

   that 
  I 
  have 
  seen 
  is 
  the 
  specimen 
  procured 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Everett 
  on 
  

   Mt. 
  Penrisen 
  and 
  recorded 
  in 
  the 
  ^Catalogue' 
  (p. 
  39). 
  I 
  

   cannot 
  make 
  out 
  where 
  Mr. 
  Dresser 
  finds 
  a 
  difficulty 
  in 
  recog- 
  

   nizing 
  these 
  two 
  species, 
  and 
  he 
  will 
  have 
  to 
  produce 
  true 
  

   Eurystomus 
  orient 
  alls 
  from 
  Mantchuria 
  or 
  China 
  or 
  the 
  

   Himalayas, 
  if 
  he 
  wishes 
  to 
  convince 
  ornithologists 
  who 
  

   value 
  geogi'aphical 
  distribution 
  at 
  its 
  proper 
  worth. 
  

  

  E. 
  calonyx 
  is 
  a 
  summer 
  visitor 
  to 
  China 
  and 
  Mantchuria, 
  

   and 
  breeds 
  in 
  those 
  countries. 
  It 
  doubtless 
  also 
  inhabits 
  

   and 
  breeds 
  in 
  the 
  Himalayas, 
  where 
  it 
  finds 
  an 
  altitude 
  

   which 
  corresponds 
  with 
  the 
  conditions 
  of 
  its 
  north- 
  

   eastern 
  summer 
  habitat. 
  

  

  E. 
  orientalis 
  is 
  the 
  resident 
  form 
  in 
  the 
  Indo-Malayan 
  

   region, 
  and 
  these 
  localities 
  are 
  visited 
  by 
  E. 
  calonyx 
  during 
  

   winter. 
  I 
  should 
  never 
  be 
  surprised 
  to 
  learn 
  that 
  some 
  of 
  

   the 
  visitors 
  interbreed 
  with 
  the 
  resident 
  birds, 
  and 
  this 
  may 
  

   account 
  for 
  the 
  slight 
  variation 
  sometimes 
  seen 
  in 
  the 
  extent 
  

   of 
  blue 
  on 
  the 
  tail 
  of 
  E. 
  orientalis 
  ; 
  but 
  I 
  have 
  examined 
  a 
  large 
  

   number 
  of 
  E. 
  calonyx 
  in 
  the 
  collections 
  of 
  Mr. 
  Styan 
  and 
  

   Mr. 
  De 
  La 
  Touche, 
  and 
  have 
  not 
  found 
  the 
  least 
  difficulty 
  

   in 
  recognizing 
  them 
  as 
  thoroughly 
  distinct 
  from 
  ^. 
  orientalis. 
  

   The 
  latter 
  is 
  a 
  more 
  massive 
  bird 
  and 
  has 
  a 
  much 
  larger 
  and 
  

   stronger 
  bill 
  than 
  E. 
  calonyx.

  This 
  species 
  was 
  previously 
  known 
  only 
  from 
  Moera 
  Teweh 
  

   in 
  the 
  Island 
  of 
  Borneo. 
  Mr. 
  Everett 
  sends 
  a 
  beautiful 
  male 
  

   specimen.

  A 
  young 
  male 
  from 
  the 
  Kinokok 
  Valley, 
  in 
  the 
  rufous 
  

   phase, 
  but 
  differing 
  from 
  the 
  corresponding 
  stage 
  of 
  G. 
  brodiei. 
  

   There 
  will 
  always 
  be 
  a 
  chance, 
  until 
  exact 
  comparisons 
  of 
  a 
  

   series 
  have 
  been 
  made, 
  that 
  G. 
  borneense 
  may 
  be 
  identical 
  

   with 
  G. 
  sylvaticum 
  from 
  high 
  Sumatra, 
  but

  recollection
