feathers dusky brown, edged with orange-red, olive towards the ends of the outer webs ; crown of head 
ashy grey, the occiput and nape washed with olive-yellow ; lores ashy ; eyelids whitish; sides of face, 
ear-coverts, and cheeks ashy grey, the latter washed with olive ; chin, throat, and under surface of body 
pale greenish, the throat rather more ashy; on the sides of body a silky-white patch ; long feathers on 
the flanks ashy white ; lower abdomen, thighs, vent, and under tail-coverts pale greenish yellow; under 
wing coverts aud axillaries white; quills below dusky, white along the inner edge. Total length 
3 - 3 inches, culmen 0 - 55, wing 1*75, tail 1*05, tarsus 05. 
[Found on Kina Balu at from 2000 to 6000 feet, but most plentiful about 4000 feet, where it 
frequents the high forest trees and feeds among the parasitical plants which cover their boughs with 
many beautiful flowers. Iris and bill black; feet dark brown.] 
149. iETHOPYGA SIPARAJA (Raffl.). 
[Fairly common in the lowland forests, and found on Kina Balu up to 2000 feet, above which 
elevation its place is immediately taken by temmincki, neither species seeming to overlap the range of 
the other. 
In the end of April I found a nest of this species which was placed under an overhanging bank 
amongst loose roots of trees. The nest was a long pocket made outwardly of dead grass and lined with 
fine roots. The eggs were two in number, of a pale salmon-pink, blotched with darker tints at the 
larger end, then spotted and marked with dark lake-red. Axis 055 inch, diam. 04. 
Native name “ Suit merah” (red). “ Suit” is the native name of all species of Nectarinia, called 
so from their note, which is “ suit suit.”] 
150. Chalcostetha insignis (Jard.). 
[This species is met with more frequently in the mangrove-swamps than elsewhere, and I do not 
think that it is ever found very far from swamps. I saw a nest in Palawan which was a suspended pocket 
made of grass-stems, and contained two young birds. 
Native name “ Suit Tungeon ” (i. e. the u Swamp Suit.”] 
151. ClNNYRIS HASSELTI (T.). 
152. ClNNYRIS PECTORALIS (Horsf.). 
[Common in Labuan, and in open places generally. It prefers to frequent fruit-gardens to most 
other localities. I have seen many nests of this bird, which are generally suspended about 3 or 4 
feet from the ground on an outside branch of some bush or small tree. The nest is often a beautiful 
structure, composed of dead leaves; over the small entrance-hole is a roof which projects so as to keep 
out the wet. At the bottom is generally a long streamer which assists in making the nest look much 
like a lump of leaf-refuse that has become fixed in the branches. Inside the nestis lined with “ Lalang”- 
grass down, from the seeds of that plant. 
The eggs are always two in number, of a pale greenish-blue under surface, sometimes thickly clouded 
with light brown, and slightly speckled with small black spots, or of the same underlying colour, only 
slightly marked with greyish blotches and small black spots. Axis 0’55 inch, diam. 045.] 
153. Arachnothera juli^e, sp. n., Sharpe. 
Adult male. General colour above brown, longitudinally streaked with white, more broadly on the 
mantle, where the white expands slightly towards the end of the feathers ; scapulars like the back ; wing- 
coverts uniform dark brown, as also the bastard-wing, primary-coverts, and quills, the latter blackish ; 
lower rump and upper tail-coverts bright yellow ; tail-feathers uniform blackish brown ; crown of head 
like the back; lores and feathers round eye uniform brown; ear-coverts and sides of neck brown, 
narrowly streaked with white ; cheeks hoary white, streaked with brown edges to the feathers; throat 
and under surface of body streaked like the upper surface, the white centres to the feathers much broader; 
thighs white, streaked with brown; vent and under tail-coverts bright yellow ; under wing-coverts and
