88. Cittocincla stricklandi (Motley & Dillw.). 
[One of the commonest forest-species, where it may be met with frequenting the lower growth and 
branches of the high trees. Bill and eye black, feet brown.

bird.]

[Very plentiful in Labuan, where it breeds. The egg procured by me differs slightly from that 
described by Mr. Sharpe. The ground-colour is creamy white, and the spots are nearly absent on the 
body of the egg, but collect in a zone round the larger end.]
