Chlamydoch 2ERA, gen. n. 
Chlamydochcera, generi “ Edoliisotna ” dicto maxime affinis, sed primario primo abbreviate et pictura 
insignissima et insolit& facile distinguenda. 
44. Chlamydochcera jefferyi, sp. n., Sharpe. 
Adult male. General colour above dark French grey ; wing-coverts like the back, the greater series 
rather paler externally, with concealed black bases ; bastard-wing black, externally grey near the base ; 
primary-coverts and quills black, with a concealed grey speculum near the base of the outer webs of the 
primaries ; inner secondaries French grey, like the back, with a conspicuous black patch on the inner web ; 
upper tail-coverts like the back ; centre tail-feathers French grey, with a narrow white tip, before which is 
a subterminal band of black ; remainder of feathers black tipped with white, increasing in extent towards 
the outer one, all more or less grey towards the base ; crown of head paler French grey, the forehead 
ochreous buff, a wash of which colour pervades the crown ; lores and a broad eyebrow black, continued 
along the sides of the crown and joining on the nape ; eyelid black in front, white on the lower edge ; 
ear-coverts and sides of face ochreous buff, as well as the cheeks and throat, paler on the hinder part of the 
ear-coverts, and on the sides of the neck inclining to buffy grey ; fore neck and chest black, forming a 
large plastron ; the feathers of the lower throat white tipped with black, the white forming an indistinct 
collar ; remainder of under surface of body light French grey, washed with ochreous buff, especially 
towards the low T er abdomen and vent; thighs dark grey ; under tail-coverts pale ochreous buff, with 
grey bases ; under wing-coverts grey, washed with ochre ; axillaries dark slate-grey, the long ones tipped 
with white ; quills below black, with large white spots near the base of the inner web. Total length 
9 inches, culmen 075, wing 4'5, tail 3‘7; tarsus 1*05. 
The adult female differs in being brown above, washed with ashy grey, the inner secondaries and the 
centre tail-feathers reddish brown, instead of grey, the marking being the same. There is less grey on 
the head, which is nearly all ochreous buff, with a grey tinge towards the nape ; the reddish ochre-colour 
on the sides of the face and throat is richer than in the male. The under surface of the body is deep 
ochreous brown where the male is grey. Total length 8'7 inches, culmen 075, wing 4‘2, tail 3'35, 
tarsus 1. 
I have named this species after Mr. Jeffery Whitehead, the traveller’s father, by whose aid and 
encouragement Mr. John Whitehead has been enabled to carry out his ornithological expeditions. 
The males scarcely vary at all in tint, but some are rather greyer towards the nape than others, and 
the throat is a little deeper buff in some individuals. In my description of the female I have not noticed 
the grey at the base of the primaries, which forms a very distinct small speculum. There is a slight 
difference in the richness of the buff of the throat, and the back is browner in some specimens. 
Young males have the secondaries edged with white at the ends, and the black spots are very small. 
The wing-coverts are also tipped with ochreous-buff spots. 
[Found on my first expedition at about 3000 feet, and they were, so far as we observed, always 
feeding on berries. On my second ascent I found the species as high as 8000 feet; it is strictly a forest 
bird, and decidedly local. Iris light reddish brown ; bill black ; feet darkish brown.] 
45. Pericrocotus igneus, Blyth. 
[This species is more plentiful where the Casuarina trees, which generally skirt the shores, are 
found. Iris, bill, and feet black.] 
46. Pericrocotus xanthogaster (Raff!.). 
[Noticed only between 3000 and 4000 feet on Kina Balu, in company with P. cinereigula. Both 
these birds were seen together, hopping about among the higher branches of a species of pine, often 
making flights to the other side of the deep gorges.] 
47. Pericrocotus cinereigula, sp. n., Sharpe. 
When Mr. Whitehead first sent an example of this species home, I determined it as P. montanus of
