Young male. Of the same colour as the adults, but with the crown feathered ; the under surface 
slightly more ashy. 
[Native name u Rigo-rigo.” Local. 
Met with on my second expedition in the old forest at 4000 feet. It has a loud booming call-note, 
and creeps about in the trees much like Rhinociclila treacheri, from which it would be difficult to distinguish 
it but for the white marks on the wings of that species. This bird is by no means common and seems to 
be local. The young bird, curiously enough, has the crown of the head feathered to the base of the bill, 
but has a large space of bare skin behind the eye, as well as bare spaces on the neck. The feathers are 
softer, and the wings of a lighter brown than in the adult. 
The adults had the iris dark brown, the bill vermilion, the head quite bald, and the skin of a brownish 
greenish-yellow, more yellow at the base of the bill ; bare skin on neck dull bluish green ; feet brownish 
yellow.] 
125. Stachyris borneensis, sp. n., Sharpe. 
Adult male. General colour above dark olive-brown, a little more rufescent on the upper tail-coverts ; 
lesser wing-coverts like the back ; median and greater coverts dusky brown, edged with the same colour 
as the back, a little more fulvescent on the outer ones ; bastard-wing and primary-coverts blue, like the 
rest of the wing-coverts ; quills dusky brown, edged with reddish brown, inclining to olive-brown towards 
the base of the outer webs ; upper tail-coverts more rufous brown than the back ; tail-feathers dusky 
brown, rufous brown on the edges, with dusky cross-markings under certain lights ; crown of head dusky 
olive-brown, streaked with hoary-grey edges to the feathers, producing a striped appearance towards the 
forehead ; along the sides of the crown a broad streak of black, followed by a greyish eyebrow, which 
becomes paler posteriorly, the hinder part of the black band being skirted by hoary streaks ; lores dull 
ashy ; feathers in front of and round the eye blackish ; ear-coverts dusky brown, the fore part blackish, 
as well as a streak below the eye ; throat and cheeks blackish, washed with ashy, with a broad white 
streak on the fore part of the cheeks ; sides of neck and under surface of body ochreous buff, with paler 
shaft-streaks ; abdomen light ashy ; sides of body and flanks, thighs, and under tail-coverts brown, with 
an ochreous tinge ; under wing-coverts and axillaries ochreous brown, the edge of the wing ashy ; quill 
below dusky, edged with ochreous brown on the inner edge. Total length 5'3 inches, culmen 07, 
wing 2'5, tail 2*25, tarsus 085. 
Differs from S. nigriceps in having a black bill, grey (not white) eyelid, and in having the head more 
uniform brown, less streaked with hoary grey. 
[Frequents the old rice-plantations and the true forest from 1000 to 5000 feet. It hunts through 
the low growth in small parties or families of five or six individuals. The nest is a large ball of broad¬ 
leaved grasses and other leaves, hidden away amongst the stems of palm-trees or in other dark places. 
The eggs are three, glossy white ; axis 0’8 inch, diam. 0'55. Eye brownish yellow ; bill black ; feet 
horny green ]

upper mandible black ; the sides of the neck are bare of feathers, and the skin is of a pale blue.] 
127. Stachyris poliocephala, Temm. 
[Only one specimen met with on Kina Balu, at an altitude of 4000 feet,] 
128. Turdinus atrigularis (Bp.). 
[Only one specimen met with, which I shot one evening at a small stream in the forest. Iris dark 
brown ; the bare skin behind the eye of a pale blue ; feet dull pinkish brown.] 
129. Turdinus canicapillus, sp. n., Sharpe.
