220 DK. V. L. SCLATER ON THE BIRDS OF BORNEO [May 26, 



and pugnacious little bird is a most beautiful fabric, made vfith an 

 opening in the side, and suspended from a twig, being built chiefly 

 of lichens and spiders' webs. 



99. Dictum trigono&tygma (Scop.), Bp. Consp. p. 403. 

 Shot by my hunter. 



100. Nectarinia macklotii, Bp. Consp. p. 408. 



101. Nectarinia hasseltii, Temm. : Bp. Consp. p. 409. 



My hunter says, this is the only specimen he has seen here of this 

 bird. 



102. Nectarinia siparaja (Raffl.), Bp. Consp. p. 405. 



Common among mangroves. 



[Mr. Wallace says, "perhaps distinct from N. siparaja, the tail 

 being rather more elongated." — P. L. S.] 



103. Nectarinia pectoralis (Horsf.), Bp. Consp. p. 408. 



Found also in Labuan ; here it frequents chiefly the flowers of the 

 Laban {Vitex iomentosa). 



104. Nectarinia phcenicotis (Temm.), Bp. Consp. p. 408. 



105. Anthreptes lepida (Lath.), Bp. Consp. p. 409. 



Apparently not rare. These little NectarinicB are all called by one 

 native name, have the same restless habits as the Labuan species, 

 and are always to be found where there are flowers. They feed, 

 however, also on small insects. 



106. Arachnothera longirostrts (Lath.), Bp. Consp. p. 409. 

 (Chewit tandok.) 



Common in a small wood near my house, amongst the bamboos : 

 I have rarely seen it elsewhere. 



Fam. CoLUMBiD^. 



107. Treron NiPALENSis, Hodgs. (Punei dakan.) 



A very common Pigeon ; perhaps the most so of all our species. 

 It has the same habits as the other kinds. 



108. Treron vernans (Gm.), Bp. Consp. ii. p. 12. (Punei 

 dadu/c.) 



Very abundant : of the same solitary and fruit-eating habits as all 

 our Pigeons, but remarkable for frequently perching on the ground. 



109. Treron fulvicollis (Wagl.), Bp. Consp. ii. p. 14. 



110. Treron olax (Temm.), PI. Col. 241 ; Gray, List of Co- 

 lumbse, p. 11. {Punei kechil.) 



In habits like the larger species, but far more rare.
