63. Terpsiphone affinis (Blyth). 
[Met with in the low country, not seen on Kina Balu.] 
64. Philentoma pyrrhopterum (T.). 
[Shot in the old jungle near the ground.] 
65. Rhinomyias ruficrissa, sp. n., Sharpe. 
Adult male. General colour above ruddy brown, more clearly rufescent towards the lower back and 
rump ; lesser and median coverts like the back ; greater coverts, bastard-wing, primary-coverts, and 
quills dusky brown, edged with ruddy brown like the back ; the secondaries externally reddish brown, 
the innermost with indistinct dusky cross bars ; upper tail-coverts and tail-feathers rufous, more distinctly 
chestnut on the margins ; crown of head rather more olive-brown than the back ; lores dull whitish, with 
an ashy shade above them ; feathers round eye and ear-coverts brown, rather more ashy near the cheeks, 
which are dull ashy ; throat white ; sides of neck brown ; fore neck, breast, sides of body, and flanks 
ashy grey, the latter washed with brown ; abdomen white ; thighs brown ; under tail-coverts pale rufous; 
under wing-coverts and axillaries pale brown, with ashy bases ; quills below dusky, pale tawny along the 
inner edge. Total length 6 inches, culmen 065, wing 3'05, tail 2'2, tarsus 065. 
Adult female. Not different from the male. Total length 5'6 inches, culmen 065, wing 2*8, tail 2*1, 
tarsus O'6. 
Differs from TL ruficauda in having olive-brown ear-coverts, brown axillaries and under wing- 
coverts, and especially in its rufescent (not white) under tail-coverts. 
The specimens brought back by Mr. Whitehead on his second journey agree with the types. The 
species is very close to R. ruficauda of Basilan. 
[Iris dark brown ; bill black ; feet whitish cobalt. This species seems to be very local, and I only 
met with it in one spot. It was first procured on my ascent of Kina Balu, at a height of about 3000 
feet, and on my second journey I came across it in the same locality. It is a Flycatcher in its habits, 
frequenting the lower branches of the high trees.] 
66. Rhinomyias pectoralis (Salvad.). 
[A bird of the low country, but I found it on Kina Balu up to 1000 feet. Here it was nesting, and 
I obtained a female with the nest and eggs. The nest is a neat cup-shaped structure of moss and small 
sticks. The eggs are like small specimens of those of the European Robin. When fresh they had 
a bluish tinge which has now faded, and the ground-colour is brownish white thickly clouded all over 
with faint spots of reddish brown. Length 0'7 in., diam. 0'55. Iris and bill black ; feet flesh-colour.] 
67. Rhinomyias gularis, sp. n., Sharpe. 
Adult male. General colour above dark ochraceous brown of a russet tint ; upper tail-coverts more 
rufous brown ; wing-coverts like the back, the median and greater coverts dusky, edged with the same 
colour as the back ; bastard-wing, primary-coverts, and quills dusky brown, edged with rufous brown, 
the inner secondaries with dusky cross-bars under certain lights ; tail-feathers blackish, externally rufous 
brown, the centre ones with dusky cross-bars under certain lights ; crown of head like the back, but 
a little more dingy towards the forehead ; lores dusky, surmounted by a white streak passing into an 
eyebrow of dull ashy gey ; feathers round eye, sides of face, ear-coverts, and cheeks reddish brown ; the 
chin and sides of throat a little more dusky ; throat creamy white ; sides of neck like the mantle ; fore 
neck and chest ashy olive, slightly washed with ochreous brown ; breast light ashy grey, paler towards 
the abdomen, which is white ; sides of body, flanks, and thighs dull ashy, washed with ochreous brown ; 
under tail-coverts pale fawn-buff; under wing-coverts and axillaries dull ashy, with whitish edges ; 
quills below dusky, ashy fulvous along the inner edge. Total length 5'9 inches, culmen 07, wing 3'4, 
tail 2'3, tarsus 095. 
Female (immature). Like the male, but with tawny-rufous tips to the greater wing-coverts and
