440 MR. R B. SHARPE ON BIRDS FROM PERAK. [May 3, 



along the inner edge. Total length 4'7 inches, culmen 0"55, wing 

 2-6,"tail 2-0, tarsus 0-8.5. 



Stachyris nigriceps, Hodgs. ; Sharpe, Cat. B. vii. p. 532 



(1H83). 



" No. 56. c? • Irides brown." 



Apparently identical with Himalayan specimens. 



Cyanoderma chrys^a (Hodgs.) ; Sharpe, Notes Leyden Mus. 

 vi. p. 1/6 (1884). 



Stachyridopsis chryscen (Hodgs.); Sharpe, Cat. B. vii. p. 601. 



" No. 35. Irides brown. Male and female similar." 



The specimen sent seems to me to be inseparable from S. chryseea. 

 It is a trifle less distinctly streaked on the head, showing an 

 approach to 8. assimilis ; but it has the brilliant throat of ^S'. chryseea. 



Phyllergates cucullatus (Tenim.); Sharpe, Cat. B. vii. 

 p. 229 (1883). 



" No. 50. 6 ■ Irides light brown. Only seen in dense jungle." 

 Identical with Javan specimens. 



SuTORTA MACULicOLLis (Moorc) ; Sharpe, Cat. B. vii. p. 218 

 (1883). 



"No. 51. 5 . Irides light brown. Shot in a clearing at 3300 

 feet." 



Pteruthitjs ^ralatus, Tickell ; Hume and Davison, Str. F. vi. 

 p. 36S (IS7N). 



■ "No. 34. c? . Irides brown. This bird is fairly common on 

 the hijiher parts of the hills." 



Slightly smaller than the typical P. cBralatus (wing 3'1), but not 

 specifically separable. P. cameranoi, of Saivadori {t. c. j). 232), is 

 undoubtedly the same. 



J^Ithopyga wravi, ?p. n. (Plate XXXVIII. fig. 2.) 



"No. 41. c? . Irides dark brown. This Honey -sucker is very 

 plentiful in the jungle, on the tops of the hills, and in the clearings. 

 I have not observed it lower than 3000 feet. There is another 

 species of Honey-sucker, but I was not able to get a specimen of it." 



This species is the Malayan representative of ^//lopygn sangui- 

 nipectns, from which it may be distinguished by iis black, non- 

 metallic tliroat and fore neck. 



Adult mu/e. General colour above dark crimson on the mantle 

 and back ; scapulars black ; on the rump a patch of sulphur-yellow ; 

 bastard-wing, primary-coverts, and quills blackish, "a little browner 

 on the edge of the latter ; upper tail-coverts metallic violet-bhie ; 

 tail-feathers black, the long centre ones externally metallic violet- 

 blue ; crown of head metallic violet-blue, with a purple reflexion ; 

 lores, sides of face, and ear-coverts black; cheeks metallic blue, 

 forming a moustachial streak ; throat, fore neck, and chest velvety
