The sexes are alike in colour, and a pair measure :—

The young bird is like the adults, hut rather duller in colour, and has several rufous-edged feathers 
on the back, wings, and breast. 
[Met with on Kina Balu from 3000 to 8000 feet, but more plentiful at the higher elevation, where 
it frequents the lower branches of high trees. Iris and bill black ; feet bluish grey ; the lower mandible 
of the young bird is yellowish at the base.]

[Feet cobalt-blue.] 
146. Pteruthius ^ralatus, Tick. 
New to Borneo. 
[Met with from 4000 to 9000 feet ; fairly common at the latter elevation, where it haunts the low 
weather-beaten trees in small parties ; they sit on the lower boughs, hopping sideways when moving, 
every now and then leaving their perch to pick an insect off the leaves ; and have a very hawk-like look, 
sitting with the head sunk low on the shoulders, are quarrelsome with- other birds, always driving them 
off. Iris pale bottle-green ; legs light pink. Upper half of upper bill black, rest and lower mandible 
pale blue.]

It is rather curious that no one has noticed the difference in the colour of the feet in the Bornean 
bird. Mr. Whitehead was the first to point it out to me. 
[More plentiful on the sea-coast, where it frequents the Casuarina trees and mangrove-swamps on 
the edges of rivers. Also found on Kina Balu up to 3000 feet. In habits this bird is like a true 
Nuthatch. It was only on shooting a Dendrophila in Palawan that I discovered the difference of the 
two species. The Bornean bird has turned out to be the undescribed form, the Palawan and Java species 
being the true D. frontalis with black legs. The Bornean bird is also more vivid in colouring. 
Native name u Tempakeris.” (What this means I do not know.) Iris straw-yellow ; bill and legs 
vermilion, the former tipped with black. The bill in the true D. frontalis is not “ bright cobalt-blue ” 
as is stated in vol. viii. of the Museum ‘ Catalogue’ (p. 359), but of an orange-vermilion.]
