LANIID2E. 



S3. PTERYTHIUS iERALATUS, Tickell. 



Pterythius aeralatus, Hartert, Nov. Zool., ix., p. 576 (1902). 



a., b. >»., /. Gunong Tahan (8th Camp). 5,300-6,000 ft. 8th-9th July, 1905. 

 (Nos. 308, 335). 



e.-d. m.,/. Gunong Ulu Kali. 4,800-5,800 ft. 7th February, 1906. 



Iris, hazel or chestnut ; bill, lead-colour, black on the culmen and 

 tip ; feet, dull flesh-colour. 



The above-mentioned pair (c.-d.) from G-unong Ulu Kali were 

 believed by Mr. Kobinson to belong to a form distinct from P. geralatus — 

 viz., P. cameronoi (Salvad). I have, however, looked carefully into the 

 matter and can only endorse Dr. Sharpe's opinion on the subject 

 (cf. P.Z.S., 1888, p. 276). 



[Tickell's Shrike-Tit frequents the better wooded parts of Gunong 

 Tahan, mostly among trees growing on the precipitous face of the 

 mountain. It keeps to the tops of the trees, and is consequently very 

 difficult to obtain, though by no means uncommon. It flies in parties 

 of six or seven, and is generally associated with Alcippe peracensis. —

Young birds differ from the adult female in having the chin and 

 throat whitish, and only the middle of the breast and belly faintly 

 washed with yellow. This Shrike is new to the British Museum.
