Ornithology of Borneo. 21 
Sabu had the iris yellow-brown, the bill umber, and legs lead- 
blue. These birds feed on insects; and from the stomach of 
one I took a Scolopendra. The tongue is plain, with slight 
apical slit. Kidneys double.—A. E.] 
Calornis chalybea (Horsf.) ; Sharpe, Ibis, 1876, p. 45. 
a, b. $ . Sibu Island. Iris in one crimson, in the other 
pale brick-red. 
[One of the commonest birds of Sarawak. They are usually 
seen in flocks haunting the taller trees, in the holes of which 
they nest. A nest was brought to me at Liugga, placed inside 
the dry husk of a cocoanut which had been eaten through 
by a squirrel; the eggs were green-blue, spotted with brownish 
purple, chiefly at the larger end, where the spots formed a 
ring. The food of these birds consists in a great measure 
of small fruits and seeds. In an immature male, shot May 
4, 1874, I found only the left testis developed, the right 
one being scarcely discernible; it was dark green, elongate, 
and about one third of an inch in length.—A. E.] 
Artamus letjcorhynchus (L.); Salvad. t. c. p. 140. 
[Santubong Bay, Marup, Bruit, Bintulu. A scarce bird 
and very shy ; frequents high trees, perching on the topmost 
twigs, and is generally seen in pairs. The flight resembles 
that of Microhierax fringillarius. When at rest these birds 
utter their only note, a kind of harsh croak. Observed also 
at Sibu, and at the mouths of the Katibas and Ibau, tribu¬ 
taries of the Bejang, the Ibau being some 130 miles from the 
sea by the course of the river.—A. E.] 
EuryljEMus ochromelas, Baffl .; Salvad. t. c. p. 108. 
[A female, shot Sept. 4, 1874, had the stomach full of 
weevils. The caeca coll are two, rather large, infundibuliform. 
This bird is common over the whole territory, on the coast as 
well as inland.—A. E.] 
Corydon sumatranus (Baffl.) j Sharpe, Ibis, p. 48. 
a. Jilalong branch of Bintulu river. Bill white, clouded 
dull crimson; iris pale brownish purple; legs and feet dark 
brown.
