4: 12 mi. N Kalabakan: [Female], October 12, 1962, MCT 3010; sex?, November 1, 1962, MCT 3193; sex?, December 22, 1962, MCT 3500; [Male] testis 7 x 4 mm., December 23, 1962, MCT 3519. One flock of about five of these yuhinas was seen in primary forest at Kalabakan. Another small group was observed in the moss forest near Tenom. _=Tephrodornis gularis frenatus=_ Buettikofer: Hook-billed Graybird.--_Specimens_, 3: Cocoa Research Station: [Male], September 25, 1962, wing molt, MCT 2946; [Female], September 25, 1962, wing molt, MCT 2947; [Female], September 25, 1962, MCT 2948. I observed this species twice in six months on the east coast. The three collected at the research station in the cocoa were in a family group. On November 9, 1962, I saw three birds feeding at the edge of the primary forest. _=Coracina striata sumatrensis=_ (S. Mueller): Barred Graybird.--_Specimens_, 2: Tiger Estate: [Female], December 30, 1962; [Male], December 30, 1962. _=Coracina fimbriata schierbrandi=_ (Pelzeln): Lesser Graybird.--_Specimens_, 6: Cocoa Research Station: [Male] imm., 25.7 gm., July 22, 1962, MCT 2637; sex?, 29.5 gm., July 28, 1962, MCT 2676; [Male], 28.4 gm., August 5, 1962, MCT 2729; [Female], 30.0 gm., September 13, 1962, MCT 2917. 12 mi. N Kalabakan: [Female], October 25, 1962, MCT 3147. Tiger Estate: [Male], November 25, 1962, MCT 3317. This species was common at the Cocoa Research Station, most common in the cocoa, and an occasional bird was observed in the primary forest. The adult male (MCT 3317) from Tiger Estate was darker than any in the series of _C. f. schierbrandi_ in The American Museum of Natural History, and closely approached a series _C. f. culminata_ from Malaya in the same museum. _=Hemipus hirundinaceus=_ (Temminck): Black-winged Flycatcher Shrike.--_Specimen_, 1: Cocoa Research Station: [Female], 10.2 gm., July 21, 1962, MCT 2632. The specimen was taken in the cocoa where it was sitting on a dead limb, occasionally darting out after insects, and provides the only record from this locality. At the collecting site 12 miles north of Kalabakan, however, it was seen several times feeding in small flocks in a clearing near a trail. _=Hemipus picatus intermedius=_ Salvadori: Bar-winged Flycatcher Shrike.--_Specimens_, 6: Cocoa Research Station: [Female] imm., August 27, 1962, MCT 2815; [Male] imm.
