Cyornis cyanopolia Blyth, Ibis 1870, p. 165 (ex Boie M. S. in Mus. 
Lugd.); Salvad. Uec. Born. p. 182. 
Siphia unicolor Sharpe, Cat. B. Br. Mus. IV, p. 444; Sharpe, Ibis 
1894, p. 542, 
An adult male (N° 983) from the western slope of 
Mount Liang Koeboeng. — Iris dark brown, bill black, 
feet purplish. This bird was shot in low bamboo-jungle at 
an altitude of 850 meter above the sea-level. 
Oates (1. ¢.) seems to doubt somewhat the identity of 
the Malay S. cyanopolia with 8. unicolor from the Continent, 
saying that it is a much brighter bird than S. unicolor, 
but having no specimen from the Continent to compare 
with our specimens from Java and Borneo, and Sharpe 
(Ibis 1894, p. 542) identifying a specimen from Mount 
Malu with S. unicolar, I prefer te follow this latter authority. 
Hab. Eastern Himalayas to the Malay Peninsula, Java 
and Borneo. 
103. Siphia elegans. 
Muscicapa elegans Temm. Pl, Col. IIl, pl. 596, fig. 2 (f) 4).

Cyornis turcosa Briigg. Abh, Nat. Ver. Brem. V, p. 457. 
Siphia turcosa Sharpe, Cat. B. Br. Mus, IV, p. 453; id. Ibis 1893, 
p. 551; id. id. 1894, p. 421. 
An adult female from Smitau, four males arid two females 
from Nanga Raoen and four specimens from the Sibau 
River; also from the Upper Mahakkam. Found in bamboo- 
jungle and brushwood of abandoned native plantations. — 
Iris dark brown, bill black, feet purplish gray. 
1) Dr. Sharpe, _Cat. B. IV, p. 447, mentions Muscicapa cantatriz Q 
Temm. Pl. Col. III, pl. 226, fig. 2, as belonging to the synonymy of S. elegans. 
This is undoubtedly an error, the bird in question, which still makes part of 
the Leyden collections, being « female in transitional stage of plumage of S. 
banyumas (Horst.) = Muscicapa cantatrix Temm. The pure white lores combined 
with the red color of the entire lower surface leave no doubt as to its identity 
with the female of S. banyumas.
