berries ; extremely noiseless in its flight, and flitting into the thick 

 bush when disturbed ; is generally seen from April to September." 

 In the large series which I have now examined from Borneo, I have 

 found the characters on which I separated the species remarkably 

 constant. Native name " Lalu " (Treacher). 



64. Pycnonotus analis (Horsf.). 



Pycnonotus analis, Salvad. t. c. p. 197. 



A series sent by Mr. Treacher, who gives the native name as 

 " Parak berjambul." It was also a frequent bird in the collections 

 of Mr. Low and Governor Ussher. 



65. Pycnonotus plumosus, Blyth. 

 Pycnonotus plumosus, Salvad. t. c. p. 198. 



Sent by Mr. Treacher ; and Governor Ussher says that it is very 

 common. 



66. Brachypodius melanocephalus (Gm.). 

 Brachypodius melanocephalus, Salvad. t. c. p. 201. 



Sent by all three collectors. Native name " Piong " (Treacher). 

 As Lord Tweeddale has already pointed out (Ibis, 1877, p. 307), 

 my B. immaculatus (Ibis, 1876, p. 39) is not really to be separated 

 as a species. I had not, at the time I described the bird, examined 

 a sufficient number from Borneo. 



67. Iora scapularis, Horsf. 

 Iora scapularis, Salvad. t. c. p. 190. 



A specimen sent by Mr. Treacher. Native name "Parak-merapok. 



Governor Ussher states that this species is common, uttering a 

 pretty little note, and being frequently found near dwellings. Mr. 

 Low sends a single egg of this species, and it is a very beautiful one : 

 axis 0-8, diam. 065. The ground-colour is white, obscured, how- 

 ever, by reddish spots, which are much more thickly distributed 

 towards the larger end, where the ground-colour becomes almost 

 invisible. These reddish dots and blotches are interspersed by a few 

 spots of purplish grey, which are more apparent towards the thin end 

 of the egg. 



68. Iora viridissima, Bp. 



Iora viridissima, Salvad. t. c. p. 192. 



Only sent by Governor Ussher. He writes : — " This bird is very 

 scarce. It is the only example I have procured. My specimen 

 was shot by Buak near the Kina Banua river."
