LIST OF BIRDS OF BORNEO. 93 
serve as authority for the title which I have adopted, and for 
the inclusion of the species in the Bornean avifauna. For 
- the same reason, all field-notes are excluded, with the excep- 
tion that the distribution of each species within the limits of 
the Bornean group is noted so far as is at present feasible. 
As many of the localities indicated do not appear on the 
accompanying maps, 1 may mention that Matang, Sirambu, 
Jambusan, Puak, Bidi, Busau, Paku and Buntal are all with- 
in a radius of 15 miles of the town of Kuching in Sarawak ; 
Marintaman, Mengalong, Kalias and Lumbidan are on the 
coast of Borneo immediately opposite Labuan; Sigalind and 
Gomanton are in the vicinity of Sandakan in North-east 
Borneo; Kupang, Kuala Kapoeas, Tumbang Hiang, Telang, 
Tamiang, Rangas, Meratus Mountains and Lihong Bahaja are 
in the South-east portion of the island. The locality Kuala 
Kapoeas is not to be confounded with the great river called 
Kapoeas, which debouches on the west coast of Borneo, and 
on which the town of Pontianak is situated. 
No family of birds is exclusively confined to the Bornean 
group, and but few genera even are peculiar. SCOP, 
Chlocharts, Androphilus and Ptilopyga among the Time- 
lide; Zrzcophoropsis and Orcoctistes among the Brachypo- 
did; Pityriasis (2?) among the Laniide; Chlamydochera 
among the Campophagide; ‘Heteroscops among the Babonide; 
Lobiophasis among the Phaxianide; and Hematortyx among 
the Tetraonide. These all appear to be peculiar to the island 
of Borneo alone; while we have Péilocichla among the Ti- 
meliidz and Dryococcyx among the Cocobidz restricted appa- 
rently to the Palawan sub-group. Of the species, however, 
a considerable proportion seem to be exclusively confined to 
the group, as will be observed from the following enumera- 
tion, in which those which are restricted to the E Palawan sub- 
group are distinguished by the prefix of an asterisk :— 
1 Cettia oreophila 5 Brachypteryx  erythro- 
2 Merula seebohmi pyga 
3 Geocichla aurata 6 Copsychus niger 
4 Myiophoreus borneensis 7 Cittocincla suavis °
