Sparingly distributed singly or in pairs over the lower 
parts of the valley. 
The above series and a considérable number of skins 
from the Malay Peninsula show that the differences between 
the sexes are trifling and not very constant, the males being 
more silvery blue than the females. Young birds are much 
duller and have the lower surface obscurely barred with 
greyish and the throat mottled with dirty white.

“Iris white, red, rich brown or dark hazel, bill black, 
feet black or slaty black.” 
This Caterpillar-shrike was rare in the neighbourhood of 
Siolak Daras and Sungei Kumbang, but was commoner on the 
lower slopes of the Peak between 6,000 feet and 7,500 feet, 
frequenting lofty trees in pairs or small parties of three or 
four. 
This species does not appear to have been obtained since 
Beccari secured the two original specimens, which were both 
males, on Mt. Singgalang in the Padang highlands, though 
we have lately seen a pair obtained in the Deli Dist., N. E. 
Sumatra, by Mr. A. Van Heyst. 
The female resembles the male, but the grey colour 
throughout is slightly paler and the crown, nape, throat and
