An adult male and a female, both collected in March 
at an altitude of 800 m., in the high forest region on 
the western slope of the Liang Koeboeng Mountain. — Iris 
blood-red, bill black, feet flesh-color. — The female looks 
much like an immature bird, on account of the fulvous 
markings on front and the sides of head and neck, but 
in looking over the specimens in the Leyden Museum, I 
find that the four fulvous-throated birds, which all are 
marked females, show the same characteristics, so that this 
might be the really adult stage of the female of this spe- 
cies. On the other hand I have to state the fact that one 
of our gray-throated adult birds, collected by Schwaner, is 
marked »female” on the label. 
This species, which frequents the undergrowth of the 
high forest and is often seen hopping along the ground, 
is found in Malacca (Wallace a. 0.), in Sumatra (a spec- 
imen from Padang in Mus. Lugd., collected by 8. Miiller) 
and in Borneo. On this latter island it has been recorded 
from the North and from Sarawak, while the Leyden Mu- 
seum contains specimens from Pontianak (Diard) and from 
the Barito River (Schwaner and 8. Miller).

Malacopteron majus Salvad. Ucc. Born, p. 225. 
A large series, obtained at the foot of Mount Kenepai 
and in the Liang Koeboeng Mountain, 700—800 m., where 
it is a rather common bird, living in the high forest. Also 
from the Upper Mahakkam. The males are a trifle larger 
than the females, and have a longer bill. — Iris red, bill 
blackish, lower mandible horn-color, feet pale grayish blue, 
soles ochre.
