ten. The flight is hurried and never long sustained, and the note a rattling 

 cry somewhat resembling that of the Kera monkey {Macacus fascicularis).'

Two adult males of the Chestnut-capped Babbling Thrush have the iris 

 chestnut, the naked skin round eye white, the bill orange, and the feet chrome- 

 yellow. 



'Almost the most abundant species of bird in the jungles of the main 

 range above three thousand five hundred feet. Generally found in parties 

 of two or three.'

$ ad. Semangko Pass, Selangor-Pahang border. May. 2,700 feet. 



Bill rich orange, iris chestnut, bare skin on each side of the throat livid 

 blue. M. peninsularis was founded by Dr. Sharpe on a somewhat worn 

 specimen procured by Mr. L. Wray on Gunong Batu Patch, in Perak, at an 

 elevation of three thousand four hundred feet. A female bird in the 

 Tweeddale collection got by Carl Bock on Mount Sago, Sumatra, 

 3rd September, 1878, is indistinguishable from the type of M. peninsularis, 

 and I am therefore of opinion that only one species, M. lugubris, really exists. 



' In habits somewhat similar to Rhinocichla mitrata, but more terrestrial. 

 On the three occasions on which I have met with it, it has always been on 

 the ground in flocks of from three to seven individuals.'
