 kechil. ) 



This bird was sent in my former collection from Labuan, where it 

 was common ; here I have seen it only once. 



Fam. HiRUNDiNiD^. 



77. HiRUNDO domicola, Jerdon, Madras Jouni. xiii. p. 173, 

 Brought by my hunter from the Dyak. 



78. HiRUNDO RUSTicA (Linn.). (J?, gutturalls, Scop.) 



[Mr. Blyth considers this Eastern variety of the Common Swal- 

 low hardly separable from tlie European bird, though many authors 

 have assigned it a different name. See Cat. Mus. As. Soc. Beng. 

 p. 197, and Jerdon, Birds of India, p. 157. — P. L. S.] 



79. Rhipidura javanica (Sparm.), Horsf. & Moore, Cat. 

 p. 144. 



Shot near Banjoenan. 



80. TcHiTREA AFFiNis, A. Hay : Horsf. & Moore, Cat. p. 134. 

 (TaiMfo.) 



A rare bird here, but very conspicuous from its long tail and slow 

 flight. It associates in small parties of five or six, and frequents low 

 open woods. Its feathers are much valued by the Dyaks. 



Fam. Laniid^. 



81. Tephrodornis hirundinacea, Temm. : Bp. Consp. p. 357. 



Found here and there in the low woods, associating in pairs, but 

 not a common bird. 



82. Pachycephala grisola (Blyth). Tephrodornis grisola, 

 Blyth, J. A. S. B. xii. p. 180; Jerdon, B, Ind. i. p. 411. 



Rather uncommon : has a sweet simple song, something like that 

 of the Redbreast {Erithacus rubecula). 



[I suspect this is Hyloterpe philomela, Cab. (Mus. Hein. i. p. 64); 

 but, as far as I can make out, that bird has never been described. 

 A bird is mentioned as Hylocharis luscinia in S. Miiller's article on 

 his Sumatran discoveries, in the Tijdschrift v. Nat. Geschied. 1835, 

 p. 331 ; but no description of it is given. — P. L. S.] 



83. Irena puella (Lath.), Bp. Consp. p. 349. {Burong Birn 

 —Blue bird.) 



The birds are common enough here, though not very often seen, 

 except when the wild fruit is ripe, when they collect in great num- 

 bers. Their favourite food appears to be a species of Sijzgginm : 

 when feeding on this, they are very fat, and are caught in great num- 

 bers, for eating, with bird-lime.
