Benkoka, Sept. 1885. 
Family CucuLiDiE. 
224. Chrysococcyx xanthorhynchus (Horsf.). 
[Not common in Northern Borneo, where it frequents the tops of the highest trees, making it 
difficult to obtain specimens. Its note is “ Kievik, kievik,” by which name the natives call it. Iris lake ; 
hare skin round eye and bill vermilion ; feet dull green ; bill in the female dark brown, more reddish at 
base.] 
225. SuRNICULIJS LUGUBRIS (Horsf.). 
[Iris hazel ; feet and bill black.] 
226. Penthoceryx pravatus (Horsf.). 
227. Cacomantis merulinus (Scop.). 
228. Hierococcyx fugax (Horsf.). 
[Met with on Kina Balu, about 3000 feet. I found this species laying in the nest of Culicicapa 
ceylonensis, on the 29th April. The egg was creamy white, slightly spotted with pale yellowish brown 
and grey, forming a complete zone at the larger end : axis 0'9 inch, diam. 0’65. Iris and bill light 
brown; feet and skin round eye bright yellow ; base of bill yellowish green.] 
229. Hierococcyx nana, Hume. 
The first recorded occurrence of this species in Borneo. 
230. Hierococcyx bocki, Wardlaw Ramsay. 
New to Borneo. The occurrence of this species on Kina Balu is interesting, as showing a very 
distinct relation between the avifauna of the mountain and that of High Sumatra. 
231. Hierococcyx sparverioides, Vigors. 
232. Cuculus micropterus, Gould. 
[Apparently new to Borneo.] 
233. Cuculus poliocephalus, Lath. 
New to Borneo. 
[This Cuckoo frequented the high ranges of Kina Balu up to 9000 feet, and I saw one specimen 
much higher. The note is exactly like that of Cyanops pulcherrima, and I have often stalked the 
supposed Barbet and shot a Cuckoo. Iris brown • legs, gape, and skin round eye king’s yellow.] 
234. CoCCl’STES COROMANDUS (L.). 237. RhINORTHA CHLOROPHzEA (Raffl.). 
235. Eudynamis malayana, Cab. & Heine. 238. Poliococcyx sumatranus (Raffl.). 
236. Rhopodytes erythrognathus, Sharpe. 239. Zanclostomus javanicus (Horsf.). 
[Native name “ Nampak.”] 
240. Centrococcyx eurycercus (Hay). 
[This large and powerful Cuckoo frequents the small tangled patches of forest, being rarely met 
with in the larger stretches of old forest. The natives say that it often feeds upon flesh, killing and eating 
birds that have been snared, if left long in the traps. I have no doubt that it would take the young from 
nests, and have watched two little Flycatchers ( Rhipidura javanica) very busy attacking and trying to 
drive this Cuckoo from a tree where they probably had a nest. 
The note is loud, “ huh bull,” uttered many times, as the bird sits, generally towards the evening, in 
some prominent position. 
Native name “ Bubut,” probably from the note.]
