Of the same group as Stoparola indigo of Java and S. ruficrissa of Sumatra, but distinguished from 
both by the rufescent abdomen. 
The female is not distinguishable from the male in colour. Total length 5'4 inches, culmen 05, 
■wing 3'05, tail 2'15, tarsus 065. This species is extremely close to S. ru/icrissa, but is lighter and more 
verditer-blue, and the under tail-coverts are paler fawn-colour. 
Compared with S. indigo, the male of S. cerviniventris is distinguished by its much darker blue 
colour, both above and below, especially on the throat, and by the buff colour of the abdomen, which is 
perfectly constant throughout the series. The females differ even more than the males, that of S. indigo 
being of a very much lighter blue, inclining to greyish cobalt, while the difference in the colour of the 
abdomen between the two species is maintained quite as strongly as in the males. 
The dimensions of the type specimen are as follows :—Total length 5’7 inches, culmen 05, wing 3, 
tail 205, tarsus 065. 
[Only one specimen was collected during the first expedition at about 3000 feet, and the species is 
decidedly rare at this elevation. On ascending the mountain a second time 1 found it more plentiful at a 
higher elevation, between 5000 and 8000 feet. It frequents the real forest, and does not come into the 
open. Iris, bill, and feet black.] 
73. Stoparola thalassinoides (Cab.). 
[Apparently very rare everywhere, as I only found it on the lower parts of Kina Balu, nowhere 
above 1000 feet.] 
74. SlPHIA ELEGANS (T.). 
[A female was procured on Kina Balu at 3000 feet. It was decidedly an uncommon bird at 
Benkoka.] 
75. SlPHIA BANYUMAS (Horsf.). 
[Common enough all over the lowlands, but I never met with it on Kina Balu.] 
Family Turdid^l 
76. Loccjstella ochotensis (Midd.). 
[This bird was obtained for me by one of my collectors close to my camp at 1000 feet elevation. It 
was probably on its way north at the time.] 
77. Phylloscopus xanthodryas, Swinh. 
a. $ ad. Kina Balu, March 15, 1887. 
[Obtained at about 1000 feet.] 
78. Acrocephalus orientalis (T. & S.). 
[Evidently a migrant. Inside of mouth bright orange ; legs slaty blue.] 
79. Cettia oreophila, sp. n., Sharpe. 
Adult male. General colour above dark olive-brown, the wing-coverts like the back, the greater 
coverts and quills a trifle more russet-brown ; tail-feathers hrown, externally lighter brown, like the 
back ; crown of head like the back ; lores dusky, surmounted by a narrow eyebrow of yellowish buff; 
eyelid yellowish buff; sides of face and ear-coverts dark olive-brown, washed with ashy ; cheeks and 
under surface of body pale ashy grey, the fore neck and sides of chest washed with brown ; abdomen a 
little whiter ; sides of body and flanks ochreous olive-brown, with silky-white bases to some of the flank- 
feathers ; thighs more reddish brown; under tail-coverts like the flanks; under wing-coverts and 
axillaries white, with a tinge of olive-yellow along the bend of the wing ; quills below dusky, ashy 
whitish along the inner edge: 11 upper mandible dark brown, the lower one yellow at base ; legs pale 
brown ; iris dark brown ” [J. W.). Total length 4 - 8 inches, culmen 05, wing 2 , 05, tail 2’2, tarsus 095. 
Adult female. Similar to the male, with the grey of the throat very strongly mottled and over¬ 
spreading the entire breast. Total length 4'8 inches, culmen 055, wing 1*9, tail 2, tarsus 09.
