Bill rich orange, iris chestnut, bare skin on each side of the throat livid 
blue, M. peninsularis was founded by Dr. Sharpe on a somewhat worn 
specimen procured by Mr. L. Wray on Gunong Batu Patch, in Perak, at an 
elevation of three thousand four hundred feet. A female bird in the 
Twkeddale collection got by Carl Bock on Mount Sago, Sumatra, 
3rd September, 1878, is indistinguishable from the type of M. peninsularis, 
and I am therefore of opinion that only one species, M. lugubris, really exists. 
* In habits somewhat similar to Rhinocichla mitrata, but more terrestrial. 
On the three occasions on which I have met with it, it has always been on 
the ground in flocks of from three to seven individuals.'
