been named McUacocincla sepiariu tardinata by Hartert.* 

 Bornean birds Malacocincla sepuiria rufiventris (syn Turdinus 

 teplxrops, Sliarpe) are brig-liter still and are very distinct.

Wing, 6 . 97, 96: $ . 97 mm. 



Apparently common in heavy jungle at moderate eleva- 

 tions in Sumatra as we have seen numerous specimens from 

 the west coast. Also found in the Malay Peninsula between 

 2 — 1,000 ft. in bamboo jungle but local and not numerous. 

 We can detect no differences between Sumatran and Malayan 

 specimens.

Sumatran and typical Malay Peninsula birds are identical: 

 the Bornean bird judging from a single male from Anvut 

 Paku. Saribas. S. W. Sarawak, seems a little smaller and 

 decidedly more rufous on the rump and tail.
