This babbler was abundant in the moss forest above Tenom and
appeared to be at the height of its breeding season in December.

The specimens were compared with material at the American Museum of
Natural History and proved to be _S. n. hartleyi_, which has not
previously been reported from North Borneo.

This species of the secondary forest usually was associated with
piles of brush or heavy growth of fern. I never saw it higher than
three feet above the ground.

Although I worked in the same area and at the same time of year as
did Garcia, I did not see this species.

_=Stachyris leucotis obscurata=_ Mayr: White-necked Tree
Babbler.--_Specimen_, 1: Oil Palm Research Station: [Male], September 5,
1963, ADG 274.

Garcia's specimen was taken in primary forest. Smythies (1960:418)
states that most records come from submontane localities, except
for those from Bettotan; the specimen is from an altitude of 40
feet, near Bettotan.
