A nest was found on our way up Kao Nawng at about 700 feet 
on 10th June, 1913. It was placed in a small sapling about six or 
seven feet above the ground and consisted of a globular mass of dead 
leaves and fibre about the size of a man’s head. It contained three 
eggs. They are broad blunt ovals in shape, moderately glossy, 
white and thickly spotted especially towards the broader end with 
dark purplish brown spots and streaks, some of the markings being 
beneath the surface of the shell. 
The measurements are: A. 24.2 x 20.7, B. 25 x 21, C. 25.2 x 21 mm.

Common round the limestone hills in the vicinity of Ban Kok

A couple of males in rather shabby plumage appear to be 
conspecific with specimens from Trang which we have identified with 
this form which seems to range down the Peninsula as far south as 
Selangor, where however it is only met with at considerable elevations. 
I must confess that I am unable to separate with any confidence males 
of. C. tickellix, Blyth; C.swmatrensis, Sharpe ; C. dialileema, Salvad. ; 
C. rubeculoides (Vig.) and another from allied to C. nigrigularis, 
Hverett; all of which occur in the Malay Peninsula, though the first 
two forms have both sexes closely resembling each other while in the 
last three the females have no tinge of blue on the plumage.

Erythromyias muelleri (Blyth) ; Sharpe, tom. cit., p. 200, pl. iy, 
fig. 2; Robinson Journ. Fed. Malay States Mus., ii, p. 188 (1909). 
An adult female and two very young birds were obtained between 
12-1500 feet on Kao Nawne. 
“Tris dark, bill black, feet pale flesh.” 
This is the most northerly recorded locality for the species, which 
isa purely Malayan form, fairly common throughout the Peninsula at 
medium elevations and also found in Sumatra and Borneo. The 
adult bird is perfectly typical.
