TAHAN EXPEDITION. 



This species does not appear to have been met with in the Malay 

 Peninsula by recent collectors, such as Mr. L. Wray, Mr. Laidlaw 

 (Skeat Expedition), Messrs. Eobinson and Annandale, Mr. A. L. 

 Butler and Mr. Waterstradt.

ZOSTEKOPIMS. 



26. ZOSTEROPS TAHANENSIS, Grant. 



Zosterops aureiventer, Hartert (nec Hume), Nov. Zool., ix., p. 575 

 (1902). 



Zosterops aureiventer, Grant (nec Hume), p. 75. 

 Zosterops tahanensis, Grant, Bull., B.O.C., xix., No. cxxvii., p. 9 

 (1906). 



Adult males differ from typical Z. aureiventer, Hume,i n having the 

 upper parts of a rather darker green, the under parts darker grey. 

 The yellow medium stripe varies in width in different individuals and 

 cannot be regarded as an important character. 



In addition to the male in the present collection I have examined 

 five specimens from Gunong Tahan, collected by Mr. Waterstradt, and 

 now in the Tring Museum. 



Iris, lead-colour ; bill, plumbeous, dark at the tip. 



a. m, Gunong Tahan (8th Camp). 5,300-6,000 ft. 7th July, 1905. (No. 

 306). 



[Evidently scarce as this was tlie only specimen seen or shot, 

 though Waterstradt apparently found it common on the mountain.
