This little Stachyris^ of which I have a Single specimen, 

 obtained near the foot of Gunong Pulai, near the southernmost 

 extremity of the Malay Peninsula , belongs to the same sub-group 

 as ruficeps, Blyth, ruflfrons, Hume, and praecognitus, Swinhoe, but 

 is distinguished at once from all of them by its grey face and 

 grey underparts; the letter only traversed by the pale brown 

 breast band.
