level by H. picatus (Sykes).

“Tris hazel, bill black, feet brownish or greyish black.”’ 
We have compared the above series of eleven skins with 
a large series from all parts of the Malay Peninsula from just 
south of the Tenasserim border to the mountains of Selangor 
and cannot appreciate the differences relied on by Salvador 
to establish his H. intermedius, viz., slightly smaller size, 
greater extent of white on the outer tail feathers and darker 
tint beneath. The measurements of the Sumatran series 
taken in the flesh are, total length, 135-143; wing, 60-65; tail, 
58-67; tarsus, 12-14; bill from gape, 16-18 mm. 
Not very common, being met with, usually in pairs, in 
secondary growth and on the edges of clearing, perching on 
outlying branches, like a flycatcher, but not nearly so active 
in their habits.
