Smythies (1960:362) lists this species as a montane resident.
However, the elevation of the Cocoa Research Station is only 750
feet, which is clearly submontane (Smythies, 1960:693). I saw the
birds in a flock of three or four, feeding in shade trees in the
cocoa fields. They acted like typical flycatchers, sitting on twigs
and darting out after insects. On September 12, a flock of 10 was
seen in the same area. Whitehead (1893:208) described the habits of
the species as being like those of _Tephrodornis gularis_ and not
at all like those of a flycatcher.

_=Lalage nigra=_ (Forster): Pied Triller.--Common in the lowlands near
Tawau and Tuaran. On September 19, 1962, I saw an adult feeding one
young on Siamil Island.

_=Pericrocotus igneus igneus=_ Blyth: Fiery Minivet.--_Specimens_, 3:
Cocoa Research Station: [Male], 15.8 gm., August 11, 1962, MCT 2764;
[Male], 14.0 gm., August 11, 1962, MCT 2766; [Female], 15.2 gm., August
11, 1962, MCT 2767.

I saw this species only on August 11, 1962, when a flock of eight
was seen feeding in a cocoa tree.

The female is somewhat darker than comparative material from
Borneo, possibly owing to fresh plumage in my specimen and foxing
in the older comparative material.

_=Pericrocotus flammeus insulanus=_ Deignan: Scarlet
Minivet.--_Specimens_, 5: Cocoa Research Station: [Male] testis 2 x 1
mm., 20.0 gm., July 7, 1962, MCT 2608; [Female], 19.7 gm., August 4,
1962, MCT 2728; [Male], 19.0 gm., August 23, 1962, MCT 2802. Tiger
Estate: [Female], June 23, 1963, ADG 160; [Male], June 23, 1963, ADG
161.

This minivet was common at the Cocoa Research Station, where it
usually inhabited the shade trees in the cocoa groves. The birds
seen and the one taken on July 7 were all in heavy molt.

_=Pycnonotus eutilotus=_ (Jardine and Selby): Crested Brown
Bulbul.--_Specimens_, 2: Cocoa Research Station: [Female], December 2,
1962, MCT 3421; [Male], June 19, 1963, ADG 152.

The species was netted twice in much disturbed primary forest.
