“Tris hazel or dark, bill horn, pinkish at base, feet brown.” 
Exceedingly common in dense and tangled vegetation,: 
creeping about like a lizard or small mouse and consequently 
rather difficult to obtain as it vanished into the vegetation at 
the least alarm and was difficult to see except at very close 
quarters. Equally common in suitable localities in old jungle 
from 3,000 to over 10,000 feet at the limit of the forest. 
Of the 48 fully adult specimens in the above series a large 
proportion have had the sexing verified with special care by 
ourselves and as a result it can be confidently asserted that 
there is no constant and reliable difference in the coloration of 
the two sexes. If the series is laid out by sexes it might 
perhaps be stated that the females average more buffy on 
the under surface than males, but there are males as buffy 
as the females and females as white as the males, so that 
no sexual distinction can be regarded as established. 
We have rigorously compared with the above Sumatran 
series ten adults from the mountains of the Central and 
Southern parts of the Malay Peninsula. In these also there
