All three specimens seem fairly adult and agree well with 
Sharpe’s description (/oc. cit.) except that the wing coverts are 
black, or brownish black, with a broad subterminal bar of 
rufous brown, with, in some cases, small rufous brown spots 
on the edges. The female is more washed with rufous, both 
above and below and the black bases to the feathers of the 
throat are less pronounced. The feathers of the forehead up 
to the level of the eyes are black, with broad sandy rufous 
tips, producing a barred effect. The white on the breast is 
more conspicuous in the males than in the female. 
The occurrence of this rare Woodcock on Gunong 
Korinchi, though not altogether unexpected, is an interesting 
extension in range for a very widely distributed, though every- 
where extremely rare, species. 
If Seebohm and Sharpe are correct in regarding Sc. rosen-
