BIRDS COLLECTED IN PERAK. 13 
“No. 34. 9 ad. Batang Padang mountains, Perak.” 
Count SALVADORI has recently (Ann. Mus. Civic. Genov. 
(2) v, p. 600) expressed his non-concurrence in the views of 
Captain WARDLAW RAMSAY and myself that Pterythrius 
cameranot of Sumatra is identical with P. gralatus of Tickell. 
The male of P. cameranoi is said by him to want the rosey 
tinge on the flanks, which is present in Tenasserim specimens, 
which are also larger; while the female of P. cameranoz differs 
from that of P. vralatus in the grey of the head being less 
pure, the back more olivaceous, and in the rufous colour of 
the under parts being brighter and more extened towards the 
throat. I therefore once more compared our series of these 
two birds in the British Museum, including the specimens in 
the Iweeddale collection. I agree with Count SALVADORI 
that the females are rather different, as described by him, 
and the female from Perak is grey-headed like the Tenasserim 
bird, but the male agrees with the Sumatran P. cameranot 
better than with the true P. zralatus. There is a slight 
difference in the gloss of the head in the males from Tenas- 
serim and Sumatra, the latter having a blue black gloss, and 
the Tenasserim birds being rather greenish black on the head. 
The Sumatra birds have decidedly more pink on the flanks.
