en known previously only from Bettotan on the east coast (Smythies, 1960:410). The additional records published herewith also are for the east coast. _=Kenopia striata=_ (Blyth): Striped Wren-babbler.--_Specimens_, 11: Cocoa Research Station: [Female], 21.1 gm., July 24, 1962, MCT 2649; [Male] testis 4 x 3 mm., 19.6 gm., July 24, 1962, MCT 2640; [Male] testis 2 x 1 mm., 18.7 gm., July 27, 1962, MCT 2670. 12 mi. N Kalabakan: [Female], October 28, 1962, MCT 3172; [Male], October 21, 1962, MCT 3114; [Female], October 22, 1962, MCT 3123; [Male], October 26, 1962, MCT 3157; [Male], October 30, 1962, MCT 3187; [Male], November 1, 1962, MCT 3192. Ulu Balung Cocoa Estate: [Male], July 21, 1963, ADG 213. Oil Palm Research Station: [Male], August 13, 1963, ADG 229; [Female], August 19, 1963, ADG 250. This bird of primary forest is found occasionally in adjacent secondary forest and spends about three-fourths of its time running about on the ground, only occasionally ascending to the lower branches of trees. The song may be rendered as _kittle jank_, the first note being trilled and a bit higher than the last, which is short and chopped off. This babbler appears to sing as it moves along the forest floor without stopping. It was observed foraging under leaves, and was common both at Quoin Hill and 12 miles north of Kalabakan, in groups of two or three birds. _=Macronous gularis=_ (Horsfield): Striped Tit-babbler.--I saw this bird at the Semporna Rest House feeding in shrubbery. It was not seen elsewhere. _=Macronous ptilosus reclusus=_ Hartert: Fluffy-backed Tit-babbler.--_Specimens_, 2: Kalabakan: [Male], November 15, 1962, MCT 3283. Oil Palm Research Station: sex?, August 23, 1963, ADG 254. This bird was seen only at Kalabakan, in dense secondary growth. My specimen was in heavy molt. _=Stachyris nigriceps hartleyi=_ Chasen: Gray-throated Tree Babbler.--_Specimens_, 16: 5.5 mi.
