[I met with one specimen of this species during my first expedition in 1887 in a bamboo-jungle at 
4000 feet on Kina Balu, but it was so much destroyed by shot as to be useless for identification. During 
the next expedition it was found more plentifully in the stretch of old forest close to the foot of the 
mountain, where it frequented the low growth and large jungle-plants near the ground. 
Bill and eye black; legs light brown, paler at the back.] 
113. Cyanoderma bicolor (Blyth). 
[Fairly common in the low growth in swampy jungle and in old forest.] 
114. Staphidia everetti, sp. n., Sharpe. 
Adult male. General colour dull ashy grey, with white shaft-streaks to the feathers of the mantle ; 
lesser and median coverts brown; greater coverts dusky, externally brown; bastard-wing, primary- 
coverts, and quills dusky blackish, edged with brown, the inner secondaries entirely brown, with whitish 
shaft-lines ; upper tail-coverts brown, with ashy margins; tail-featliers blackish, edged with brown, the 
four outer feathers tipped with white, increasing greatly towards the outer one ; crown of head and hind 
neck dull rufous ; lores and eyelid white ; ear-coverts rufous, like the crown; cheeks, throat, and under 
surface of body white ; sides of neck ashy grey, like the back ; a few brown streaks on the cheeks and on 
the malar line ; thighs ashy grey ; under tail-coverts, under wing-coverts, and axillaries white ; quills 
below blackish, whitish along the inner edge. Total length 5*2 inches, culmen 0*45, wing 2*5, tail 2*3, 
tarsus 0*65. 
Adult female. Similar in plumage to the male. Total length 5 inches, culmen 04, wing 5, tail 2*2, 
tarsus 0*65. 
Resembles Staphidia castaneiceps, but differs in its entirely rufous crown and nape, the ashy margins 
to the frontal feathers of S. castaneiceps not being visible in S. everetti. 
[Fairly common in the old forest between 3000 and 4000 feet on Kina Balu, where they pass from 
one tree to another in small twittering flocks of from six to nearly a dozen individuals. The crest is 
often raised and the throat puffed out. This Staphidia builds its nest in small holes in the river-banks 
and in other suitable spots in the forest ; it is composed of moss and lined with fine roots, and contains 
three eggs, which are white and spotted all over, especially at the larger end, with dark reddish-brown, 
and may be found about the 13th March. Axis 0*7 inch, diam. 0*45. 
Eye dark brown ; bill black ; legs brown.] 
115. Herpornis brunnescexs, Sharpe. 
[Legs flesh-colour ; bill black, lower mandible flesh-colour ; iris dark brown. 
I. shot my first specimen in a bit of old forest near Sandakan, and did not again meet with this 
species until years after, when I found it in small companies at an altitude of 5000 feet on Kina Balu.]
