'• No. 12. Males. Irides brown ; beak orange ; legs yellow ; skin 

 under ej^e pure white. Common above 3000 feet."

 be confined.

Henicurus rujicapillus, Temm. PI. Col. iii. pi. 534. 



"No. 17. Female. Irides brown ; legs nearly white ; beak black ; 



Rocky streams in t!.e jungle on the hills."

SiBiA 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. Cail Bock. 



Mesia argentauris, Hodgs. ; Sharjie, 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. laurincB, Salvad. (Ann. Mus. Civ. Gen. xiv. p. 231), which is the 

 species one would have expected to find along with Sibia simillima.
