are no records of other than the original series collected by 
S. Miiller on Singgalang, Padang Highlands, and now in the 
London, Leyden and Liverpool Museums. 
The two specimens differ somewhat, that from Barong 
Bharu, which is probably a younger bird, being much darker 
and less rufous above, with the ear coverts and sides of the 
head but little brighter than the back and with the narrow 
black line separating the white gorget from the breast barely 
indicated. 
Comparison of Sumatran birds with a series of twenty- 
two specimens from the southern half of the Malay Peninsula, 
including the actual type locality of M. malayana, shows that 
this form cannot be separated even subspecifically from A. 
solitaria, the figure of which, given by Sharpe (loc. cit.) is very 
bad, especially as regards the colour of the flanks and mantle, 
which are far too ruddy.

“Male: Iris hazel, bill black, feet purplish black. 
Female: Iris hazel, bill black, feet lavender brown.” 
Abundant in a limited zone between 3,000 and 4,500 feet, 
but not ascending as far as our camp at Sungei Kumbang. 
Generally found singly or in pairs and very much more 
terrestrial in its habits than most flycatchers. 
In size and colour birds from the Malay Peninsula and 
Sumatra agree perfectly, wing ranging from 92-101 mm.
