Ornithology of Borneo. 
c. $. Santubong bay. Iris white ; legs dark leaden grey. 
[Extremely common at Santubong, Rejang, Bruit, in the 
shore-jungle and Casuarina- belt, and also at Belidah and Sibu 
in second-growth jungle; and I have observed it on the Si- 
rambu mountains at a height of 1000 feet. The iris is white 
or yellowish white; culmen and tip of maxilla slaty black, 
rest of beak bluish ; legs and feet leaden blue; caeca coli 
small, ellipsoid, adherent; tongue triangular, pointed, and 
finely slit along its anterior margins; testes minute (July), 
pyriform, yellow. A female shot on a Melastoma- bush at 
Sibu in August had the gizzard full of minute coleoptera; in 
a male shot at Belidah in July the stomach contained seeds 
and various small insects.—A. E.]

Mr. Everett has brought a pair of this Phyllornis , which 
differs from the allied P. icterocephala from Malacca and 
Sumatra in having the back of the neck greenish, this latter 
colour extending onto the crown, and leaving only the fore 
part of the head yellow. In P. icterocephala , of which I 
have a good series now before me, the whole crown is bright 
yellow, shading off into dull orange on the nape. The fe¬ 
males of the two species are very different, that of the Bornean 
bird being quite green above. Count Salvadori duly notices 
the differences between the above-mentioned birds, but does 
not consider them specific. As, however, they are very con-
