upper tail-coverts ; the throat purer white, and the abdomen with a few dusky tips to some of the white 
feathers. Total length 5'8 inches, culmen 07, wing 3, tail 2'2, tarsus 09. 
The large size of this species, its ashy-grey flanks and breast, distinct ashy eyebrow and rufous ear- 
coverts, all easily distinguish it from its nearest ally, 11. pectoralis. 
An adult female procured by Mr. Whitehead on 29th of January has the lower abdomen, vent, and 
under tail-coverts rufescent. It is also rather more rufous brown above than the adult male, and has the 
head above rufous brown ; the chin is likewise more rufescent. Wing 3'35 inches. 
The young bird has the appearance of a young Robin, being mottled all over with orange-rufous 
spots on the upper surface, taking the character of longitudinal streaks on the head and mantle. The 
wing-coverts have also orange-rufous spots at the ends. The throat and abdomen are white, and the rest 
of the under surface from the fore neck downwards is thickly mottled with pale orange rufous and black, 
the feathers being of the former colour in the centre and edged with black. 
[Kill black ; legs whitish blue ; iris hazel. Found on Kina Balu from 3000 to 7000 feet, but more 
plentiful at higher elevations. I procured a nest and eggs on the 11th of March at about 3000 feet on 
the mountain. The nest was entirely composed of moss, with a few small sticks outside, and a few dead 
leaves ; inside it was lined with roots and red fibres. 
The eggs are pale olive greenish, clouded with reddish spots all over, collected somewhat at the 
larger end, where they form a distinct zone. Length 0'95 in., diam. 0'65.] 
68. CuLICICAPA CEYLONENSIS (Sw.). 
[On Kina Balu this species is found up to 3000 feet, hut does not ascend the mountain to a higher 
elevation. Close to one of my camps a pair had a nest in a long dangling piece of moss. It was 
a simple pocket in the moss itself. 
The eggs are very pretty, somewhat like those of our English Lesser Whitethroat, being glossy 
white, plentifully spotted with brown and blotched with underlying grey mottling, principally towards the 
larger end. Length O'6 in., diam. 0'5. The nest also contained an egg of Ilierococcyx fugcuc, which will 
be described later on.] 
69. Cryptolopha trivirgata (Strickl.). 
A very curious feature is noticed in the series of this bird, the majority of specimens being dark 
greyish green, with a greenish-grey stripe along the head, and the sides of the face of a pale greenish 
grey ; the under surface of the body is white, with a wash of yellow, the sides greener. This is the 
prevailing tint of the whole set of specimens, and at first sight they would seem to be quite distinct from 
the true C. trivirgata of Java ; but mixed with these greyish birds are one or two yellow birds of 
the Javan type ; these occur at the same place and along with the ordinary grey birds, so that no definite 
character can be drawn from these variations in plumage. The yellower birds may be the young ones. 
This species is recorded from Borneo for the first time. 
[Iris black ; bill dark brown ; feet slaty grey ; soles yellow. Only met with on Kina Balu 
mountain between 5000 and 9000 feet. Its habits are very much like those of a Regidusl] 
70. Cryptolopha schwaneri (Blyth). 
I give a detailed description of a pair of this rare Flycatcher, the male of which was previously 
unknown. 
Adult male. General colour above dull olive-yellow, a little brighter towards the rump ; lesser wing- 
coverts like the back ; median and greater coverts light brown, edged with pale olive-yellow ; bastard¬ 
wing and primary-coverts light brown, fringed with olive-yellow ; quills brown, the primaries edged with 
vellow, the secondaries externally yellow, lighter than the back ; upper tail-coverts brighter yellow than 
the back ; tail-feathers brown, edged with dull olive-yellow, the inner webs conspicuously pale tawny 
buff along the margins of all but the centre feathers ; crown of head dull ashy, washed with olive towards 
the nape ; lores dull ashy, surmounted by a narrow white eyebrow, running from the base of the nostrils
