LIST OP THE BIRDS OF PENRISSEN. [\\ 



Mucornis, all the species obtained are well known, thanks chiefly 

 to the labours of Mr. Hose on Mt. Dulit. As each of the abo\e- 

 mentioned specimens are unique, and as my knowledge of sys- 

 tematic ornithology is somewhat inadequate, I refrain from des- 

 cribing* them, until further material can be obtained. I have 

 followed the classification adopted by Mr. Everett in his list of 

 Bornean birds (cf. this Journal No. 20, 1889,) and I have includ- 

 ed those species obtained by Mr. Everett in a former expedition 

 to Penrissen. 



Family Turdldj:. 



1. Myiophoneus baimeensis Sclater, Ibis 1885, p. 123. One 



young specimen of this species was obtained, differing so 

 markedly from the adult, that I was inclined to regard 

 it as a new species ; a subsequent careful comparison 

 with a skin of a typical female from Mt. Dulit revealed 

 its identity. The back wings and tail are of a very 

 dark brown, and the feathers of the breast and head 

 have the shafts and tips white, the webs of these feathers 

 are not so well developed as in the adult, and there is no 

 trace of any blue coloration on the wings. Feet purple. 

 4,100 feet. 



2. Coptychus saularis L. Sharpe, Cat. B. vii. p. 6b. Common 



everywhere in the low-country. 



3. Cittocincla suauis Sclater. Sharpe. Cat. B. vii. p. 87, From 



Pankalan Ampat. 



4. Pomatorliinus bomeensit Cat. Sharpe. Cat. B. vii. p. -111. 



Low-couutry and up to 3,000 feet. 



5. Stachyris kucotis Sharpe. Ibis 1878, p. 418. Penrissen 



3,000 feet. 



6. Starfnjris borneentis Sharpe. Ibis 1887, p. 449. A common 



species on Penrissen. A nest with three eggs was 

 found, the eggs are white (as is usual in this genus) and 

 measure 21 by 10 mm: the nest is a loose ill-made struc- 

 ture. 



7. Malacopterum albigulare Gray. Sharpe, Cat. B. vii. p. oQ6.
