APPENDIX. 
the whistling ceases and the bird has perched, often at some distance away, where it sits motionless until 
again disturbed. It often frequents small forest-streams, but I should doubt if it ever feeds on fish. This 
is one of the Bornean “ Burong angi,” or “omen birds.”] 
255. Halcyon coromanda (Lath.). 
256. Halcyon pileata (Bodd.). 
257. Halcyon chloris (Bodd.). 
[Common along the sea-coast perching on some elevated spot, from which it makes short darting 
flights on its prey, which is exposed at low tide. This bird has a peculiar harsh cry, which is “ Kang 
kang.” The head is thrust forward and the tail cocked at right angles to the back. They nest in holes 
in trees, and are generally met with in pairs. Native name “ Kang kang/’J 
258. Halcyon concreta (T.). 
259. Carcineutes melanops (T.). 
Family Coraciiile. 
260. Eitrystomus orientalis (L.). 
[Common, frequenting open places, especially dead trees that have been left standing after forest 
fires. It perches on some high branch, from which it makes short flights at insects, returning often to the 
same perch. 
The note is “ Kick kick,” sounding somewhat like the noise made by coachmen to horses. 
Native name “ Labi.”] 
Family CAPRIMULGIDiE. 
261. Caprimulgus macrurus, Horsf. 
[Common in open places and on the edges of forest. In the evenings it may he seen on Labuan 
plain in numbers sitting on the ground, making short flights from place to place. The name of “ Ice- 
bird ” mentioned in Jerdon, and derived from its peculiar note, which sounds exactly like a stone 
thrown on thick ice, is the best description of the sound it utters. It is met with on Kina Balu up to 
2000 feet. It generally nests in open places, and I have seen a nest on the sea-shore under the shelter of 
a tree just above high-water mark. The eggs are two in number, laid in April and other months, of a 
pale creamy yellow, with a slight pinkish tinge, blotched all over with pale grey, and less so with pale 
brown. None of these spots and blotches are distinct. Axis 1'25 inch, diam. 0‘9. Native name “ Tampa- 
Kampa.” 
There is another species of Caprimulgus in Borneo, which I failed to obtain, but which is, I believe, 
Lyncornis temmincki, a species common in Malacca, but only observed by myself about the foot of Kina 
Balu.] 
262. Cypselus infumatus, Scl. 
[Fairly common.]

270. Treron capellei (V.). 
[Native name “ Puni lanquok.”] 
271. Treron vernans (L.). 
[Very common in Labuan, often congregating in fairly large flocks. It nests in gardens, especially
