“Adult male :—Iris hazel, bill black, tarsi yellowish brown, 
more yellowish posteriorly. 
Adult female:—Iris hazel, bill black, lower mandible 
mottled with yellow, the tomia yellow, feet yellow.” 
We only met with this species for three or four days on 
the Peak, after which it disappeared, evidently on migration to 
the breeding grounds. All the specimens were loaded with 
fat. 
Examination of this series and a considerable numbeg 
from the mountains of the Malay Peninsula, collected durin 
the winter months, shows that the birds found in Sumatra and 
the Malay Peninsula are identical and are to be referred to 
Turdulus davisomt, Hume, originally described from Muleyit 
in Central Tenasserim. 
Cichloselys davisom is distinguished from the nearly allied 
C. sibivica by having the general colour of the male slaty black, 
not bluish grey, by the absence of white in the centre of the 
abdomen, by the lesser amount of white in the under tail 
coverts and by the diminished extent of the white tips to the 
tail coverts. Females of both forms very closely resemble 
each other and can only be separated by the smaller amount 
of white in the tail feathers. 
The range therefore of the two forms as given by Sharpe 
and others is hardly correct, at least so far as winter quarters 
are concerned. Both species, if we are to trust the categorical 
accounts of Hume, winterin the Burmese provinces. A large 
series recently collected in western Java is indubitably C. szbivz- 
cus, while all Malayan and Sumatran specimens that have passed 
through our hands are as certainly C. davisoni, which appears 
to reach Sumatra via the Malay Peninsula, as we have obtained 
it on small islets in the Straits of Malacca. 
Some uncertainty attaches to the correct name for the 
present form. Blyth described a single female from the 
Andamans as Geocichla inframarginata in 1860, and if, as seems 
probable, examination should prove it to belong to the race 
we are now dealing with, Blyth’s name will have to be used. 
Until Blyth’s type, which is presumably in Calcutta, has been 
examined, we prefer to use the present name to which no 
ambiguity attaches.
