Mr. R. B. Sharpens Contributions to the 
slant in a large series, I think it better to give the Bornean 
bird a name. 
Phylloscopus borealis, Bias. 
Phylloneuste javanica, Salvad. t. c. p. 244. 
a. Tuban branch of Bintulu river. Iris brown; bill brown, 
the lower mandible yellow; legs and feet pale sienna. 
b. $ . Bintulu. Iris brown; legs pale transparent brown. 
I am indebted for a determination of this species to Mr. H. 
Seebohm. 
Prinia superciliaris, Salvad. t. c. p. 249. 
a. $ . Bintulu. Iris brown; legs warm brown. 
[Lives in the thick lalang grass.—A. E.] 
Orthotomus atrigtjlaris, Temm.; Salvad. t. c. p. 249. 
«, b. £ <j> . Bintulu. Iris dark ochreous; legs pale brown; 
bill darker brown. 
Having compared the pair collected by Mr. Everett with 
Malaccan examples of O. flavo-viridis, Moore, I have no doubt 
as to their identity; and at the same time, as these birds 
are referable to the Bornean O. atrigularis , Temm., the latter 
title consequently becomes the oldest name for O. flavo- 
viridis. 
Mr. Everett has not met with this species before. As 
might be expected, the sexes are not “ similar,^ as stated by 
Temminck, but are in reality quite different, the female 
wanting the black throat, and having the tail rather more 
distinctly marked with a subterminal spot of dark brown. 
Acrocephalus orientalis (T. & S.); Salvad. t. c. p. 251. 
a. $ . Bintulu. Iris pale wood-brown; legs lead-grey; 
bill horn-brown; interior of gape orange. Diptera in gizzard. 
Procured during the N.E. monsoon. 
Prionochilus everetti, sp. n. 
P. similis P. obsoleto , sed supra saturate bruuneus, nee oli- 
vaceo lavatus : gutture brunnescente, nec albo, et rec- 
tricibus externis concoloribus distinguendus. Long. tot. 
3*7, culm. 0’4, alee 2*25, caudse 1*3, tarsi 0*55. 
This apparently new species is closely allied to P. obsoletus
