FASCICULI MALATENSES 



These birds, with the wing 2*75 inch, belong to the slightly smaller race 

 which has been named P. passerinus infortunatus, Hartert. 



In the birds from India the wing measures 2*9-3*0 inches. $ iris brown, 

 bill black, a yellow bar across the base of the lower mandible, feet flesh colour. 

 9- iris brown, bill yellowish-horn, feet pinkish. 



' Common in the environs of almost every village. The peculiar "abortive 

 nests " or swings made by the male, and weighted with lumps of mud, are 

 well known, and a source of wonder to the Malays, who are extraordinarily 

 observant in matters zoological.' 



15. Chlorura, sp. 



$ . Telom, Perak-Pahang border. 22nd January. (No. 570) 



The adult female Ck/orura, collected by Mr. Robinson at Telom, is very 

 closely allied to C. intermedia, Hartert, from Lombock and Flores, having 

 the same dark tawny rufous lores, but the chest and breast are somewhat paler, 

 and in this respect the Malay bird closely resembles C. borneensis. 



The iris is brown, the bill black, and the feet yellowish-brown. 



' Only one specimen of this bird was seen, creeping about among low 

 bamboos, very much after the manner of a Titmouse.'
