This Bullfinch is new to the British Museum. 



[This fine Bullfinch, perhaps the most interesting bird on Gunong 

 Tahan, is by no means uncommon on what may perhaps be called the 

 moorland zone of the mountain ; but is distinctly wild and difficult to 

 approach. It flies in pairs and frequents the boughs of two kinds 

 of stunted conifer and a shrubby plant of Vaccinitim type on the 

 berries of which it largely feeds, though minute insects were also 

 found in the crops of two specimens examined. The note is a faint 

 pipe, like that of the British species, but very much feebler. Its flight 

 is powerful and long sustained and the birds are very restless, never 

 remaining long in one place. — H. C. E.]
