1921] Bopen Kioss: Notes on Birds. 219 
In 1912 Dr. E. Stresemann found that Malayan birds 
were smaller than the Sondaic form and named them 
Phylloscopus t. parvirostris (Noy. Zool. XTX, p. 322, Mt. 
Tahan, 5,200 ft.). He omitted, however, to compare them 
with Bornean material, named by Sharpe C. f. kinabaluense 
(Bull. B.O.C. XI, 1901, p. 60). Sharpe described this as 
having a duller crown stripe. whitish underparts and a less 
yellow colour generally. 
But when referring his material earlier to Cryptolopha 
trivirgata (Ibis, 1888, p. 202}, Sharpe noted that amongst 
it, besides specimens as described, were a few examples of 
typical appearance : and he surmised that the latter were 
young birds. I think the reverse is more probably correct 
for I have immature specimens from Java and the Peninsula 
which approximate to his description. 
An adult skin (wing 56 mm.) from Gunong Tanabo, 
N. Sarawak, does not differ from Malayan birds: one 
cannot dogmatise with a single specimen, but if it is typical 
of the adult C. ¢. kinabaluense then Malayan birds may have 
to bear that name with C. ¢. parvirostris as a synonym. 
LALAGE FIMBRIATA. 
I have been able to bring together series of Lalage 
fimbriata (Temm.) from Java, Malay Peninsula, Sumatra 
and Borneo. There is some lack of uniformity in each 
series, because immature males are paler than fully adult 
males in some races ; but having regard to adult birds only 
my conclusions are as follows :— 
1. Lalage fimbriata fimbriata (Temm.). 
Ceblephyris fimbriata Temminck PI. Col. Nos. 249 (¢) and 250 (@). 
Java. 
Males perhaps a little darker than males from Malacca. 
Sumatra and Borneo, but oniy doubtfully so. 
Females distinct : darker below, but less clearly banded 
(bars greyer, less black) owing to a general grey suffusion 
or clouding except on the throat and under tail-coverts 
where the ground colour is white. 
The largest form : wings 99-107 mm. (92,42). 
Confined to Java. 
2. Lalage fimbriata culminata (Hay). 
Ceblephyris culminatus Hay, Madras Journ. Lit. & Sei. XIII, 1844, p. 
157. Malacca. 
Males not distinguishable from Javanese males. 
Iemales much whiter and more clearly bandéd below. 
Wings : Malay Peninsula, 95-100 (2¢ 42) ; Sumatra 
91-98 (66 39). 
The Malay Peninsula south of Lat. 3° N. and Sumatra 
3. Laiage fimbriata schierbrandi (Pelz.). 
Volvocivora schierbrandii Pelzeln Novara Reis. Végeln, 1865, p. 80, 
taf. 11, fig. 1. Borneo. 
Volvocivora borneensis Salvadori, Atti R. Ac. Se. Tor. III, 1868, p. 532. 
Borneo.
