Family Turdid.2E. 



58. Turdus fallens, Pall. 



Turdus pallens, Salvad. t. c. p. 256. 



Turdus modestus, Eyton, Motl. and Dillw. t. c. p. 23. 



Sent by Governor Ussher and Mr. Treacher; called, according to 

 the latter, " Burong muncheat." Governor Ussher's two specimens 

 were shot in December 1876. 



59. Monticola solitarius (P. L. S. Mull.). 

 Monticola solitarius, Sharpe, anted, p. 249. 



Governor Ussher shot a specimen, with the blue colour beginning 

 to spread over the red breast, in February 1877. It was previously 

 only known as a Bornean bird from the single bird shot by Mr. 

 Everett at Bintulu in November 1875, and recorded by me as 

 Monticola pandoo (Ibis, 1877, p. 13). A. second specimen was 

 procured on Kina Balu by Mr. Burbidge (vide anted, p. 249), who 

 also possessed an example shot on Burong Island, close to Labuan. 



60. Phylloscopus xanthodryas (Swinh.). 

 Phylloscopus xanthodryas, Seebohm, Ibis, 1877, p. 71. 



One specimen forwarded in Mr. Treacher's collection, and 

 identified as the above by Mr. Seebohm. Native name " Suit 

 mula°;andie." 



"O" 



61. Locustella ochotensis (Middend.). 

 Locustella ochotensis, Seebohm, Ibis, 1879, p. 14. 



In Mr. Low's last collection was a single specimen of this in- 

 teresting bird; and my friend Mr. Seebohm tells me that it agrees 

 with the types of Middendorff's species, winch he saw not long ago 

 in St. Petersburg. It is evident that Middendorff in his ' Sibirische 

 Reise ' figured only the young bird of L. ochote?isis, and confused 

 the species with the true Locustella certhiola. 



62. Acrocephalus orientalis (T. & S.). 

 Acrocephalus orientalis, Salvad. t. c, p. 251. 



Specimens were in Mr. Low's collection, which he assured me 

 were from Labuan. Governor Ussher's and Mr. Treacher's birds of 

 this species were from the mainland. 



Fam. Timeliid^e. 

 Subfam. Brachypodiine. 



63. Irenacrinigera. 



Irena criniger, Sharpe, Cat. B. hi. p. 267. 

 I. cyanea (Begbie), Salvad. t. c. p. 151. 

 1. puella, Motl. & Dillw. t. c. p. 23. 



Governor Ussher gives the following note : — " By no means rare ; 

 generally to be found on the small species of Ficus, devouring the
