APPENDIX. 
The Kadyans call it “ Bintarrang.” 
Iris black ; bill and feet dull yellowish brown.] 
183. PSARISOMUS PSITTACINUS (pt.), Scl. 
New to Borneo. 
184. Euryl^mus javanicus, Horsf. 
[Fairly common everywhere, reaching an altitude of 1000 feet on Kina Balu. 
Iris greyish blue ; bill turquoise-blue green, cobalt at base ; feet dirty pink.] 
185. ElTRYLAiMUS OCHROMELAS, Raffl. 
[Distribution the same as in the last species. Met with on Kina Balu at about 1000 feet. Native 
name “ Tapau.” Iris bright yellow, bill turquoise-blue.] 
180. Cymbirhynchus macrorhynchus (Gm.). 
[A common forest species. Iris bottle-green ; upper mandible turquoise-blue; under one blue, 
running into light blue and king’s yellow at base ; feet light blue.] 
187. CORYDON SUMATRANUS (Raffl.). 
[Rather a scarce species in Borneo, frequenting old forest. Met with on Kina Balu up to 2000 feet. 
Iris dull white; skin round eyes pink ; bill dull pinkish brown ; feet brown.] 
188. Pitta arcuata, Gould. 
There is no difference in the colouring of the sexes ; but the female has scarcely such a finely 
developed necklace. 
[I met with this beautiful Pitta on Kina Balu at from 2000 to 4000 feet in true forest, where it 
frequented the thick bamboo-jungle. Iris black ; bill dark brown, greyish at base of lower mandible ; 
legs slate-grey.] 
189. Pitta baudi, Mull, et Schleg. 
[Apparently rare. I only saw three birds of this species during my stay in Borneo. Iris and bill 
black ; legs slaty blue.] 
190 Pitta schwaneri, T. 
[Only two specimens met with, which were procured on Kina Balu, at 5000 feet, by one of my 
men after I had left to pack up for my return journey to the coast.] 
191. Pitta ussheri, Sharpe. 
[A local species, being fairly common in parts of Northern Borneo. Though extremely bright in 
plumage, this Pitta is difficult to see, the bright scarlet breast, when turned towards one, is not so easily 
distinguished from the scarlet fruits and bright red dead leaves which carpet these forests. Then the 
bird when alarmed generally keeps its dark back towards one, which is still more difficult to see in the 
dusky shades of the forest. The note is peculiar, being a prolonged whistle, gradually rising in power, 
and suddenly ceasing when it reaches its highest pitch. These birds are good ventriloquists. I have often 
been looking for a Pitta in the opposite direction to which he was, and at last discovered the bird hopping 
about in the thick jungle within a few yards of my back. Iris and bill black ; legs slaty blue.] 
192. Pitta cyanoptera, T. 
[Met with on Pulo Tega in numbers during April 1886, but in the following year Mr. A. H. Everett 
sent a collector to that island, where he procured numbers of Pitta muelleri but no P. cyanoptera. When 
I visited the island there were no P. muelleri to be seen. This species must therefore be migratory. It 
is fairly plentiful in Labuan in some seasons ; at other times it is not to be met with. 
It frequents the ground and lower branches of trees in old forest, and is not so easy to shoot as 
might be imagined from its colouring, as it takes good care to keep its green back to the bird-collector. 
This species takes flight more often when alarmed than P. ussheri or any other species of this genus
