This species is closely allied to T. sepiarius, but differs in having a distinct eyebrow streaked with 
white, and more especially in the colour of the breast and sides of the body, which are bright tawny 
rufous. 
[Fairly common on the lower slopes of Kina Balu from 3000 to 4000 feet, frequenting the under¬ 
growth.] 
130. Turdinus magnirostris (Moore). 
The single specimen is rather smaller and greyer than Malaccan examples. This seems to be the 
first recorded occurrence of the species in Borneo. 
[Legs dark cobalt; bill black, lower mandible whitish cobalt.] 
131. Erythrocichla bicolor (Less.). 
[Frequents old forest, but apparently not very common. Those shot were hunting in the lower 
branches of the undergrowth near the forest-paths. Iris light hazel; upper mandible dark brown, lower 
one yellow at the base ; feet flesh-colour.] 
132. Drymocataphus capistratoides (T.). 
[Found in the thick jungle on the ground. This species walks on the ground, never hopping or 
climbing about amongst the low growth. The Kina Balu specimen was killed at an elevation of 
1000 feet.] 
133. Trichostoma rostratum, Blyth. 
134. Malacopterum cinereum, Eyton. 
[Bill black, lower mandible flesh-colour ; feet flesh-colour.] 
135. Malacopterum afeine (Bl.). 
136. Kenopia striata (Bl.). 
[I only met with one specimen, which came to drink at a small stream which I was watching. Iris 
black ; feet white ; upper mandible black, lower one white.] 
137. Mtxornis borneensis, Bp. 
[Frequents the lower growth of tangled masses of jungle, especially in the neighbourhood of wet 
places. The note is “ Buckier, buckier, buckier/’ which is uttered sharply. Iris whitish yellow ; bill 
and feet dark brown.] 
138. Mixornis Montana, sp. n., Sharpe. 
Adult female. General colour above reddish brown, with a strong shade of ashy olive, especially on 
the mantle and hind neck, the latter having sundry dusky streaks ; the feathers of the lower back and 
rump very long and fluffy ; lesser wing coverts like the back ; median and greater coverts dull chestnut; 
bastard-wing, primary-coverts, and quills dusky brown, externally dull chestnut, more conspicuous on 
the secondaries; upper tail-coverts reddish brown ; tail-feathers blackish, externally washed with
