Our specimens agree sufficiently well with Salvadori’s 
diagnosis of his Hyloterpe brunneicauda, obtained at Ayer 
Manchior in Padang and we have therefore referred it to that 
form, which we regard merely as a subspecies of ‘ Siphia 
olivacea”’ (Hume.) Salvadori however gives the length of 
tarsus of his single specimen as 21 mm., while our four 
average 17.8 mm. only.

“Tris hazel, brown or chestnut, bill black or corneous, 
pinkish beneath at base, feet yellowish brown.” 
Fairly common in old forest from: the floor of the valley 
up to about 4,500 feet, where it was fairly abundant, after that 
thinning out to 7,000 feet, above which it was not met with. 
Found singly or in pairs in the undergrowth and lower 
branches of trees but not a scrub species in the way of 
Phyllergates c. swmatranus. 
We can distinguish no differences whatever between our 
series from the Malay Peninsula and the Sumatran specimens. 
The species, which is one of the most wide spread of Oriental 
Flycatchers, ranging from Bombay to Bali, seem extra- 
ordinarily stable, though it is a resident bird wherever found. 
Streseman notes that the Malayan specimens average smaller 
than those from Ceylon and Sikkim but the figures he gives 
are not very convincing (Nov. Zool. xx, p. 253 (1913)). The 
wing measurement of our Sumatran series ranges. from 
55-03 mm.

Closely allied to Cryptolopha grammuceps (Strickl.), of Java, 
from which it differs in having the mantle and back clear
