Dr. E. Hartert exhibited and described a new subspecies 

 of Stachyris, wbich he characterized as follows : — ■ 



Stachyris leucotis goodsoni, subsp. nov. 



Similar to S. leucotis leucotis from the Malay Peninsula 

 but the crown darker and with a slaty tinge ; back, scapulars, 

 and wing-coverts deeper rufous, tips to the longest upper 

 wing-coverts darker rufous^ not creamy rufous, 



Hab. Eorneo. 



Type an adult male from Gunong Mulu, collected in 

 March 1898 by John Waterstradt, in the Tring Museum.

 some remarks which had as their object the upholding of 

 Seebohm's uame of JEg. hiaticola major for British-bred
