dull, and incline to pnrplisli in tint. This species appears to me to 

 1)6 a thorougli Ghihia, and I do not at present see how naturalists 

 can avoid recognizing the existence of Chibia in the Malay archi- 

 pelago ; nor do I understand how the Indian and Malayan species 

 are to be separated, when such a perfect gradation is now oifered 

 hy C. lorneensis and C. pectoralis. Under these circumstances I 

 heKeve that Salvadori's genus Dicru/ropsis, which I was lately in- 

 clined to admit (Mittheil. k. zool. Mus. Dresd. iii. p. 360), cannot 

 be sustained ; and I therefore revert to my old opinion concerning 

 these birds (Cat. B. iii. p. 234). I have given tliis species the name 

 of lorneensis to celebrate the addition of a Uhibia to the avifauna of 

 Borneo. Mr. Treacher has also procured a single specimen of it on 

 the Lawas river. 



The yoimg bird from Kina Balu differs from the adult in being 

 duller black, with fewer and less metallic chest- spots and hackles.

The presence of white on the facial region of a species of grey 

 Buchanga would seem to ally it at once to B. leiicogenijs. In the 

 Bornean bird, however, of which I have three specimens before me, 

 the white is confined to a large loral spot in front of the eye, where- 

 ajs in B. leucogenys the eyebrow and ear-coverts, as well as the 

 feathers below the eye, are also white or whitish. The new species 

 is also of the same dark grey as B. leucophcea (B. cineracea of my 

 Catalogue, iii. p. 250), and not of the light pearly grey which is 

 another character of B. leucogenys. One specimen was contained in 

 Mr. Burbidge's collection, and two in Mr. Treacher's.
