4. Orthotomus atrigularis. 
Hab. Borneo and Malayan peninsula, extending northwards 
to Tenasserim and Burmah. 
In Borneo Mr. Alfred Everett has procured a pair at Bintulu 
[vide supra, p. 16); and I have already shown that this species, 
generally known as O.flavoviridis , Moore (P.Z.S. 1854, p. 78), 
is the same as Q. atrigularis of Temminck, originally de¬ 
scribed from Borneo, but not since procured in that island 
till Mr. Everett’s researches brought it again to light. The 
Museum contains a Sumatran specimen collected by Mr. 
Wallace, as well as others from Penang and the peninsula of 
Malacca. The latter locality supplied Mr. Moore with the 
types of his O. flavoviridis. Mr. Hume (S. E. 1874, pp. 478, 
507) has also described a new species obtained by Mr. Davi¬ 
son at Pahpoon, Kyouknyat, and Thayetchaun, in Tenasserim, 
as 0. nitidus . This Lord Tweeddale (B. Burm. p. 121) has 
correctly shown to be the same as the Malaccan bird; and he 
records it also as a bird of Burmah (/. c .), as it has been pro¬ 
cured near Rangoon by Lieut. Wardlaw Ramsay.
