1875. ] MR. R. B. SHARPE ON BIRDS FROM LABUAN. 103 
15. CaLLoLopuus punicevus (Horsf.); Salvad. J. ¢. p. 49. 
This species appears to be new to Labuan. One example is sent 
on the present occasion. 
16. CaLLoLopHus MALACCENs!Is (Lath.); Salvad. /.c. p. 50. 
Two specimens of this Woodpecker, which is new to Labuan. 
17. Turiponax JAVENs!Is (Horsf.) ; Salvad. J. ¢. p. 52. 
An adult specimen. 
18. GRAUCOPICOIDES RAFFLESII (Vig.) ; Salvad. J. ¢. p. 54. 
Male and female of this species, which is also here recorded from 
Labuan for the first time. 
19. Mereiypres rristis (Horsf.) ; Salvad. 7.c. p. 56. 
Comparing the single Labuan skin now sent with one from 
Sarawak (Wallace), I find that they both differ from Malaccan and 
Sumatran examples in being more numerously banded underneath, 
and in having the cross bars more rufous. Certain indications, 
however, of an intermediate plumage in the Sarawak bird incline me 
to agree with Count Salvadori in uniting the two species, and not 
considering the M. grammithorax (Malh.) distinct. 
20. MriciyrTeEs TuKKI (Less.) ; Salvad. J. c. p. 57. 
A pair of these birds are sent by Mr. Low; and on comparing 
them with a pair from Malacca and Sumatra collected by Mr. 
Wallace I notice more differences than were evident in the case of 
the foregoing species. The Labuan specimens are more rufous 
underneath ; and the heads are browner, whereas the Malaccan 
examples have a greyish crown. The black on the chest is very 
much broader in the Labuan examples. 
21. Microprernus Bapiosus (Temm.); Salvad. J. c. p. 58. 
One specimen. This species has never been sent from Labuan 
before ; but the Museum contains a Sarawak specimen obtained by 
Mr. Wallace. It entirely agrees with the excellent diagnosis given 
by Count Salvadori for the species (p. 59), and has not the uniform 
first primary mentioned by some authors. I cannot agree that it is 
the same as M. brachyurus of Malacca, as it seems to be a darker 
bird altogether, and has the tip of the tail quite black for more than 
its apical third. The crimson colour round the eye also appears to 
consist only of a few scattered dots, and not to form a patch or 
small spot as in the Malaccan species. 
22. SasIA ABNORMIS (Temm.); Salvad. /.c¢. p. 60. 
Two males and a female. This species has not been before 
recorded from Labuan. I cannot see the slightest difference between 
Bornean and Malaccan examples of either sex.
