Stachyridopsis poliogaster, Hume. 



This species was originally collected by Davison at tlie foot 

 of Gunong Pulai in Johor and was not met with again for 

 many years. It has recently been recorded by Buttikofer 

 from Central Borneo, while it is not uncommon in one or 

 two localities in Selangor. Mr. Kloss has also obtained it in 

 Johor. 



Serilophus rothschildi, Butler &. Hartert. 



This Broad bill was described from four specimens obtained 

 by Mr. Butler on Gunong Ijau in Perak. It was not met

 fairly abundant in thick bamboo-jungle, in two localities in 

 the Peninsula.

 but has probably been overlooked on account of its resem- 

 blance to the common Greenshank with which it cousorts.
