1 Eighteen tuckeri" from Mt. Dulit seem inseparable on size, or 
colour from sixteen exact topotypes of cinerascens. The degree of distinctness 
of the grey cap is a variable feature and 1 cannot appreciate even an average 
difference between the two series. The British Museum series, at first sight, 
does seem to indicate that in birds from Dulit the cap is relatively more 
sharply defined, but this is a character often influenced by the make-up of 
the skin, the cap being most obvious in birds in which the head is bent back 
with the bill in line with the tail. Measured from the base of the two central 
rectrices the maximum tail-length in the series before me is about 255 mm, 
in females, and 265 mm. in males from both localities.
