FASCICULI MALATENSES 



Tenasserim and Karenee. Should the Malaccan bird be regarded as distinct 

 from S. chrysaea, it must bear the name of S. bocagei, Salvad., founded on 

 examples from Sumatra (cf. Ann. Mus. Civ. Gen. (i) xiv, p. 223 (1879) ). 



{ Very abundant among the undergrowth, and so extraordinarily tame and 

 inquisitive that it was difficult to get far enough away to shoot specimens 

 without blowing them to pieces.'

A specimen of Davison's Babbler agrees with others from the Malay 

 Peninsula in having the breast paler in colour than in birds from Sumatra 

 (S. larvata) and Borneo (S. borneensis). Whether these latter are really distinct 

 from one another seems doubtful.
