[I have always found these at the edges of forest paths or 

 the outskirts of the forest and always singly. I noted nothing 

 special about them ; they were usually hunting about amongst 

 the leaves like Phylloscopi and Abrornis. I do not remember 

 hearing their note ; in fact I have never hitherto taken any 

 interest in this group. — W. D.]

 this is not identical with the previously described Reguloides 

 fulviventer, Godwin-Austen, S. F., III., 398, which latter was 

 founded on a carbolized example in which the green may have 

 been changed to grey, and the yellow to white by the entire 

 disappearance of the yellow pigment, exactly as explained above 

 when treating of Brachypodius cinereiventris.
