Is BIRDS OF THE LARUT HILLS. 
with a red rump. It was unfortunately too damaged for _ 
preservation. I think it must have been igneus. Sharpe’s Pert- 
crocotus croceus I looked for in vain. 
47. Graucalus larutensis. (Sharpe.) 
The Larut Cuckoo Shrike. Not uncommon above the 
Maxwell’s bungalow clearing, but I only shot one, fortunately a 
female, which has not been described previously, Sharpe having 
only seen the male (1) . 
48. Hemichelidon sibiricus. (Gm.) 
Sooty Flycatcher. A very common winter visitor. A few 
were still about at the beginning of April. (2) 
49. Hemichelidon ferrugineus. (Hodgs.) 
Ferruginous,Flycatcher. Not uncommon between 1,500 and 
3,500 feet. I cid not notice it higher. (1).

Tickell’s Blue Flycatcher. 1 saw this species once at 4,000

Malayan specimens are smaller than Indian ones. 
51. Nitidula hodgsoni. (Moore.) 
The Pigmy Blue Flycatcher. I obtained one at 4,500 feet.

growing upon a thick bough; once or twice it fluttered out and 
captured a small insect in true flycatcher style, and once I saw 
it hover for a sccond or two something like a Honeysucker. I 
believe this is the first time it has been obtained in this locality. 
Oates gives its distribution as Sikkim, Assam and the Naga hills.
