FASCICULI MALATENSES 
I have assigned Mr. Miller’s name to these specimens as they are 
certainly somewhat duller than specimens from further south. At the same 
time, there are, in the British Museum, some bright specimens from Perak, 
so that the difference would appear to me to be rather individual than 
geographical or seasonal, but much larger series than I have at my disposal 
would be required before pronouncing a definite opinion. 
4 This is also a jungle species, and, as far as our observation goes, is not 
found in low country ; wherever found it appears to be abundant, its habits 
being very similar to those of the preceding species. On Bukit Besar, in 
August, a nest was found in a clump of birds-nest fern growing on a tree-trunk 
some forty feet above the ground. The nest consisted of a globular chamber 
some four or five inches in diameter, and was lined with fine black vegetable 
fibre. It was approached by a slanting tunnel, and contained either two or 
three young ones, which were nearly half-grown.*

A very typical example of the Malay race. 
‘ A pair were shot for us by the Malay Pengghulu of Sungkei, who was 
a keen naturalist, and to whom we were indebted for much assistance in the 
way of collecting. Large numbers are always on sale in the bazaars of Singa¬ 
pore, but appear principally to belong to the Sumatran race.*

This series shows hardly any variation ; the colour of the under parts is 
practically the same in all the specimens, the difference, if there be any, is a 
tendency among those from the Eastern States (jalor and Jhering) to become
