BIRDS FROM PERAK. ail 
and active in their habits, flitting about with their tails spread 
out and hardly ever for a moment still. This species and the 
one found in the low country (2. javanica) are said to be 
mad by the Malays, from the absurd and restless way in 
which they are always hopping and turning about. The pre- 
sent species I always found in small flocks, and almost inva- 
riably with quaker thrushes (A/czppe), Racket-tailed dron- 
gos (Rhinocichla mitata) and other birds. It frequents 
dense jungle, and has a sweet clear little song.” 
The only difference between the specimen sent and others 
from various parts of India seems to be that the white tips to 
the tail-feathers are rather larger and not ashy white, but 
pure white. Tenasserim specimens, however, seem to be 
‘intermediate.

sent.) 
Mytophoneus, sp. inc. 
“No. 54.—¢ 2. It is found in the rocky ravines and river- 
beds of the hills from 1,000 feet or so to nearly 4,000 feet, 
but is a rare and shy bird.’’ (Not sent.) 
Mr. WRAY supposes this bird to be 47. Temminck?, and 
says that it agrees with Jerdons description of that species. 
I think it will probably be A/. eugeniz.
