340 MR. It. B. SHARPE ON THE BIRDS OF LABTJAN. [Apr. 1, 



to the latter gentleman it is called " Rungent." Governor Ussher 

 says it is " occasional, and not common." 



70. MlXORNIS BORNEENSIS, Bp. 



Mixornis borneensis, Salvad. t. c. p. 215.

 met with it. 



. 71. Setaria affinis (Blyth). 

 Setaria affinis, Salvad. t. c. p. 231. 

 Only sent by Governor Ussher, who records it as " occasional." 



72. Copsychus amcenus (Horsf.). 

 Copsychus amcenus, Salvad. t. c. p. 255. 



" Very common everywhere ; addicted to wooded situations ; has 

 a very sweet and full song, which, if it were more sustained, would 

 be equal to that of a Nightingale or Thrush" (Ussher). Native 

 name "Katajio" (Treacher). Mr. Low says that the nest of this 

 Dial-bird is composed of " loose twigs in hollow palm-stems," and 

 that five eggs are laid in a nest, one of which was procured by Mr. 

 Low in January 1874. The same observer sends a series of eggs, 

 which seem to be extremely variable, ranging from a pale greenish- 

 white egg, mottled and blotched with brown, to an egg on which the 

 dark brown blotches are so thickly distributed as almost to hide the 

 greenish ground-colour of the egg altogether. Between these two 

 extremes every possible intermediate colouring occurs ; and the size 

 also varies greatly, the axis ranging from 0*9-1 "1 inch, and the 

 diameter from 0*65-0-75 inch. 



73. ClTTOCINCLA STRICKLANDI. 



Copsychus stricldandi, Motl. & Dillw. t. c. p. 20, pi. iv. 



Kittocincla sirkhlandi, Salvad. t. c. p. 253. 



A series sent by Governor Ussher and Mr. Treacher. Native name 



"Pulita sungie" (Treacher). Governor Ussher says that it is 

 rarer than the Copsychus, and is generally found in deep forest. Mr. 

 Low had a specimen from the mainland of Borneo ; and its occurrence 

 there has been confirmed by Mr. Treacher's collections, which con- 

 tained examples.
