Two males of the Common Iora from Patani and Biserat, are rather dull- 

 coloured birds, and doubtless immature. They show no traces of black on 

 the crown. In a fully adult male procured at Sungkei in February the feathers 

 of the top of the head and nape are very slightly edged with black, and the 

 chest is deep, brilliant yellow. 



' Common in the neighbourhood of villages throughout the Peninsula.'

 The Sumatran Cuckoo-Shrike has the iris whitish and the bill and feet 

 black. 



' Apparently confined to the lowlands, where it seems to be rare. In the 

 mountains its place is taken by G. larutensis, Sharpe, of which I have 

 recently collected several specimens, and which seems to be a far more locally 

 abundant species.'

 The Ashy Minivet is represented by one immature male, with the iris 

 hazel, and the bill and feet black.

Mr. Oates' key to the species of Pericrocotus (cf. Faun. Brit. Ind. i, p. 

 478 (1889) ) is somewhat misleading, for when he speaks of the first two or 

 more primary quills being entirely black, he evidently refers to the outer webs 

 only. Thus the present species, Davison's Scarlet Minivet, comes under the 

 heading: — ' b ? First three primaries entirely black,' but, as a matter of fact, the 

 third quill has a well-marked red patch on the margin of the inner web.
