3o. CISTICOLA BEAYANI, Walds*. 

 Cisticola beavaui, Sharpe, Cat. Birds, Brit. Mus., vii., p. 255 (1883). 

 a. m. Gunong Tahan. 5,100 ft. 17th August, 1905. (No. 397). 

 Iris, orange ; bill, black ; feet, pinkish flesh-colour. 



3fi. PHYLLERGATES CIXEREICOLLIS, SnARPE. 



Phvllergates cucullatus cinereicollis, Hartert, Nov. ZooL, iv., 

 p. 518 (1897). 



Phvllergates cucullatus, Hartert (nec Ternm.), Nov. ZooL, ix., 

 p. 569 (1902). 



a.-h. m., f. Gunong Tahan. 4,000-6,000 ft. Juno and July, 1905. (Nos. 

 104, 251, 265, 270, 278, 286, 296, 315). 



Iris, yellowish ; culmen, black; lower mandible, horn-colour; feet, 

 dull horn-colour ; soles, yellow. 



This form is easily distinguished from P. cucullatus by the grey 

 colour of the occiput and nape and the brighter olive-colour of the 

 back. 



37. BUYA WATERSTRADTI, Hartert. 



Suva waterstradti, Hartert, Nov. ZooL, ix., p. 568 (1902). 



a.-n'. m., f. et »?.imra. Gunong Tahan from 5,000 ft. to the summit. June 

 and July, 1905. 



(Nos. 59, 141, 147-149, 154, 170, 201, 210, 234, 239, 260-262, 273, 299, 317, 

 314, 345, 350, 366-368, 385-388, 401-403, 416, 419-421). 



All the specimens in the large series of this Warbler procured by 

 Mr. Robinson agree with the description of the type. It is quite 

 evident that the species never has a black throat. 



An immature male (No. 201) lacks most of the black markings on 

 the breast, which is greyish instead of white. This Hill- Warbler is 

 new to the British Museum. 



Iris, dark brown ; bill, black, brownish at the tip ; feet, brownish 

 flesh-colour. 



[This Warbler, of which Waterstradt got only one specimen, is one 

 of the commonest birds on Gunong Tahan, and this fact makes me 

 believe that he was never on the mountain himself, but that possibly 

 some of his men spent perhaps a day on it. The bird goes about in 

 pairs, keeping low down amongst thin bushes, and is very active and 

 restless, repeatedly flicking its tail in the air. Its note is a shrill 

 twee-twee, twee-twee. 



In all probability Suya waterstradti is peculiar to Gunong Tahan. 

 No other mountain in the Peninsula presents similar physical features. —
