RurnocicuHta MiTRATA (S. Miill.); Sharpe, Cat. B. vil. p. 452. 
Tanthocinela mitrata, Bp. Consp. i. p. 371. 
“No. 12. Males. Irides brown; beak orange; legs yellow ; skin 
under eye pure white. Common above 3000 feet.” 
Two specimens sent, identical with others in the Museum from 
Sumatra, to which island the species has hitherto been supposed to 
be confined.

HyprocicHLA RUFICAPILLA (Temm.); Sharpe, Cat. B. vii. 
p- 319. 
Henicurus ruficapillus, Temm. PI. Col. i. pl. 534. 
“No. 17. Female. Irides brown ; legs nearly white ; beak black ; 
Rocky streams in the jungle on the hills.” 
Agrees with the females of this species as described by Messrs. 
Hume and Davison. 
SrB1A sIMILLIMA (Salvad.); Sharpe, Cat. B. vol. vii. p. 402. 
Heterophasia simillima, Salvad. Ann. Mus. Civic. Genov. xiv. 
p. 232. 
“No. 13. Female. Iris brown; beak black; legs plumbeous. 
Flies about among the tops of trees in parties of from 20 to 30. 
Above 3000 feet.” 
The two specimens sent agree precisely with a Sumatran example 
in the British Museum collected by Mr. Carl Bock. 
MesIA ARGENTAURIS, Hodgs. ; Sharpe, Cat. B. vii. p. 642. 
«No. 10. Female. Iris brown; feet and beak of same colour 
as throat of female. Male bird has red under tail-coverts; throat 
orange. From the hills of Perak over 3000 feet. Flies about in 
small parties of 10 or 12.” 
The female sent is absolutely identical with Himalayan specimens, 
and the note given by Mr. Wray as to the colouring of the male 
also suits the Himalayan bird and does not agree with the Sumatran 
M. laurine, Salvad. (Aun. Mus. Civ. Gen. xiv. p. 231), which is the 
species one would have expected to find along with Stbia simallima.
