14 LIST OF THE BIRDS OF PENRISSEN. 



mountain, a most disappointing fact as I had great expec- 

 tations of obtaining some typically mountain form. 



31. Dissemurus paradiseus L. Sharpe, Cat. B. iii. p. 258. Ranges 



up to 3000 feet. 



Fam. Muscioapid.e. 



32. Erythromyias mulleri Blyth. Sharpe, Cat. B. iv. p. 200 pi. iv. 



f. 2. Penrissen (A. fl. Everett). 



33. Evythromyias sp. n (?) 



One badly shot specimen of a little fly-catcher belonging to 

 this genus was obtained : it was quite impossible to sex 

 the bird and it would be unwise to describe it until fur- 

 ther material is obtained. The plumage of the upper 

 parts and wings are as in E. mulleri, but the breast is 

 ashy and the lower halves of the outer tail-feathers are 

 white. Penrissen 4,100 feet. 



34. Rhipkhra perlata S. Mull. Sharp, Cat. B. iv. p. 328. 



Common up to 3000 feet. 



35. Tersiphvne affinis Blyth. Sharp, Cat. B. iv. p. 349. 



Low country and up to 3000 feet. Known as the " rain- 

 bird " by the natives. 



36. Philentoma vetatum Temm. Sharpe, Cat. B, iv. p. 365. 



Ranges up to 4000 feet. The young male resembles the 

 adult females very closely, but the plumage on the abdo- 

 men and rump is generally admixed with earthy brown. 



37. Philentoma pyrrhopterum Temm. Sharpe, Cat. B. iv. p. 366. 



Occurs side by side with the preceding species ; both 

 are easily called up to the gun. Mr. E. Bartlett for- 

 mer curator of the Sarawak Museum described in this 

 Journal (April 1894) a new species of Philentoma, P. 

 maxuelli. 1 have examined the solitary specimen in the 

 Museum collection and have very grave doubts of its dis- 

 tinctness from P. pyrrhopterum] a quite asymmetrical 

 patch of chestnut on the breast is the only distinguishing 

 feature, and prefer to regard the bird merely as a some-
