BIRDS FROM PERAK. 129 
rense occurs in the Nilghiris, or else that the latter range con- 
tains an intermediate form between S. xewarense and S. tn- 
adranee. 
The specimen sent by Mr. Wray has the wing 4 inches. 
It is evidently a very old bird, being very dark above and very 
coarsely barred below, with a dark band across the chest, 
where the cross-bars are not so distinct. The face is deep 
rufous-ochre, with a few indistinct blackish cross-bars. Alto- 
gether the specimen may be said to belong to the eastern race 
of Syrnium newarense, witha tolerably uniform ochreous face. 
Such specimens are found in Formosa, Assam, Manipur and 
Sikkim, where a perfect gradation takes place between Syr- 
nium newarense, leaving it absolutely impossible to draw any 
line between eastern and western examples.

“No. 59.— 6. Irides crimson; bill pale blue-grey. The 
female is black, without the red breast- and wing-spots. It is 
notacommon bird. The range seems to be from 3,000 to 
4,000 feet, but I have a specimen shot in Kinta at not more 
than 100 or 200 feet above the sea-level, at the foot of the 
central range of the peninsula.” 
The specimen sent is identical with one of the typical 
specimens collected by Mr. CARL BOCK, and now in the Brit- 
ish Museum.

“No. 46.—¢ ¢@. Irides red-brown. The long tail-feathers 
of most of the males have no webs on their shafts, excepting 
on the racket-ends, the portion covered by the ordinary tail 
being quite naked. I obtained two males with webs on the 
shafts, under the shorter tail-feathers, and was at first uncer- 
tain whether these might not be two species; but as no dif- 
ference was observable in the tails of the females (the upper 
portion of the long tail-feathers being webbed in every speci- 
men), it seems more probable that the bird with the webbed 
upper parts of the long feathers are young males.’’ 
This is interesting, as continning the range of the species 
southward from Tenasserim, but it is also known from Java.
