238 BIRDS OF THE 
189. Mixzornis borneensis. 
Mixornis borneensis Bp. Consp. I, p. 217 (1850); Salvad. Uce. Born. 
p. 215; Everett, L. B. Born, p. 107; Sharpe, Ibis 1889, p. 416. 
Ten specimens from Pontianak, Smitau, Nanga Raoen 
and Poelau, consequently all from the lowland of the 
Kapoeas basin, and five specimens from Long Bloe (Upper 
Mahakkam). — If there is any reason to separate this species 
from M. javanica, it can only be based upon the somewhat 
broader dark stripes on throat and breast, though it must 
be said that in some of the Bornean specimens of the 
Leyden Museum these stripes are not broader than in some 
Javan ones. — Iris pale orange, facial skin pale blue, bill 
black, lower mandible bluish horn-color, feet grayish green. 
Hab. Borneo, where it seems to have a general distri- 
bution.

Macronus ptilosus Jard. & Selby, Ill. Orn. sh 150 (1835); Salvad.

p. 108. 
Numerous specimens from the foot and the slope of 
Mount Kenepai, Nanga Raoen, the Liang Koeboeng, from 
Poelau on the Sibau River and from the Upper- and Lower 
Mahakkam. — Iris dark brown, skin above the eye sea- 
green, on chin and face purplish blue; bill black, lower 
mandible greenish, feet dark brown, soles ochre. 
Hab. Malayan Peninsula, Sumatra and Borneo, where 
it is generally distributed. 
Field-notes of Mr. von Berchtold: »Man_ trifft - diese 
zutraulichen und wenig scheuen Végel stets in dichtem 
Busch zu zweien oder in grésserer Gesellschaft, sich von 
Ast zu Ast, von Strauch zu Strauch herumtreibend und 
nach Nahrung suchend. Ihr ganzes munteres Benehmen ist 
so possierlich, dass es eine Freude ist, demselben zuzu- 
sehen. Ihr Hauptlockton ist ein leises »fih” mit rasch 
hinter einander folgenden kurz ausgestossenes » kuku-kuku-
