GO. CRYPTO LOPHA TRIVIRGATA (Strickl.). 



a.-r. m.,f. et m. s f. imm. Gunong Tahan. -4,000-4,500 ft. June and July, 

 1905. (Nos. 95, 96, 120, 136, 137, 211,221,238,288, 353, 362, 363, 405, 

 406, 422-424). 



Adult. — Iris, hazel ; bill, horn-colour, yellowish at the tip ; feet, 

 French- grey. 



Immature. — Iris, umber ; bill, lead-colour, yellowish at the tip ; 

 feet, French-grey. 



Younger specimens differ from the adults in having the under 

 surface dull greyish-green and the stripes on the crown far less clearly 

 denned and whiter. 



[This friendly little bird was very common on Gunong Tahan, fre- 

 quenting the patches of low bush near the streams and also the faces 

 of the cliffs. It was very tame and fearless and would often come 

 within a couple of feet while one was sitting waiting for other birds. 

 The note is a single chirp and is often repeated. 



Elsewhere in the Peninsula this species is decidedly rare, and I 

 have only met with it on one other occasion on the summit of Gunong 

 MengkuangLebah, Selangor, 5,400 ft., where I secured two specimens. —
