91. DRYMOCATAPHUS NIGRICAPITATUS. 
Drymocataphus nigricapitatus (Hyton}; Sharpe, tom. cit., p. 554; 
Robinson and Kloss, tom. cit., p. 60. 
Rare; only one specimen was obtained in jungle near Ban Kok 
Klap. 
92. DRYMOCATAPHUS TICKELLI. 
Drymocataphus tickelli (Blyth); Sharpe, tom. cit, p. 557; 
Robinson and Kloss, tom. cit., p. 60. : 
As elsewhere in the Peninsula very common on Kao Nawng among 
bamboos. 
“Tris chestnut red, feet pinkish flesh, bill plumbeous, darker on 
upper mandible.” 
93. CORYTHOCICHLA LEUCOSTICTA. 
Corythocichla leucosticta, Sharpe, P. Z. 8. 1887, p. 438 ; Robinson 
and Kloss, tom. cit., p. 61. 
This babbler was very common on Kao Nawng, ranging from the 
foot of the mountain to the summit and also occurred nearly at sea- 
level at Ban Kok Klap, though in the Federated Malay States it is 
not found below 2,500 feet. 
A series of ten specimens compared with large numbers from more 
southern localities including the actual type locality of the species 
show very intangible differences though the ground colour of the 
upper surface is perhaps rather lighter in the Bandon birds. 
Three forms of the genus,* the present one, C. striata from 
Assam and Manipur, and C. brevicaudata from Muleyit in Tenasserim 
are extremely closely related and as might be expected the Malayan 
race is more closely connected with the Muleyit one with which it 
agrees in having the tips of the wing coverts white, not fulvous, and 
the sides of the head ashy not brown. Indeed they are quite possibly 
identical. 
“Tris carmine, tarsi brownish, bill plumbeous horn, darker on 
culmen.” 
94. ALCIPPE PHAYRIT. 
Alcippe phayrti, Blyth; Sharpe, tom. cit., p. 623 ; Robinson and 
Kloss, tom. cit., p. 61. 
* ©. crassa, Sharpe, from the mountains of N. Borneo seems rather more 
distinct.
