 £juv. Gunong Berumban. 28lh January. (No. 601) 



The females of this form, as Mr. Hartert has already remarked, are 

 easily distinguished from the females of N. grandis by having the top of the 

 head and nape strongly washed with purplish-blue, and by their smaller size, 

 the wing measuring 3*7 inch in length in the present species, and 4*2 inch in 

 N. grandis. The national collection contains a specimen of the adult male 

 from Lolo, Sumatra {Carl Bock), Tweeddale collection, and a female 

 obtained by Mr. L. Wray at Batang-Padang, Perak. The latter is remark- 

 able in having two of the outer tail-feathers on the right side blue.

Two females of the Brown Fly-catcher have the iris hazel, the bill black, 

 yellow at the base of lower mandible, and the feet brownish. 



* One of the two birds collected at Telum is marked as a male — no doubt a mistake has been made.
