The three specimens of the Shama are all in fully adult male plumage j 
of these two are no doubt incorrectly marked as female. The birds obtained at 
the two first named localities in Patani have long tails measuring respectively 7*0 
and 7’3 inches, and the breast and underparts lighter chestnut. The third 
specimen from Perak has a shorter tail, measuring 6 inches, and the breast 
and underparts deeper chestnut. All intermediate stages are represented in 
the British Museum collection. 
1 The Shama is found distributed throughout the Peninsula, but does not 
appear to ascend the hills much above three thousand feet, or to occur among 
the mangroves of the tidal estuaries. It mainly affects secondary jungle, but 
is often found in the middle of comparatively large towns. Malay name, 
Murat rimba y or Murat bate.'
