or several minutes. _=Muscicapa rufigastra rufigastra=_ Raffles: Mangrove Blue Flycatcher.--_Specimen_, 1: Tuaran: [Male], December 14, 1963, SCFC 33. _=Muscicapa dumetoria mulleri=_ Blyth: Orange-breasted Flycatcher.--_Specimens_, 5: Cocoa Research Station: [Male], 11.8 gm., July 25, 1962, MCT 2661; [Female], November 1, 1962, MCT 3198; [Male] testis 3 x 2 mm., November 11, 1962, MCT 3246; [Male] testis 5 x 4 mm., November 28, 1962, MCT 3384. 5.5 mi. SW Tenom: [Male], December 25, 1962, MCT 3531. This species was seen only in the understory of primary forest. On November 10, I watched a male and female feeding about three feet above the ground in the undergrowth. They sat on small vines and plants and darted out after insects. I never observed this species more than 20 feet above the ground. _=Muscicapa narcissina=_ Temminck: Black and Yellow Flycatcher.--_Specimens_, 2: Cocoa Research Station: [Female], November 27, 1962, MCT 3331. 5.5 mi. SW Tenom: [Male], December 20, 1962, MCT 3484. The two specimens were taken in nets in the primary forest. They cannot presently be assigned with certainty to subspecies. _=Rhinomyias umbratilis=_ (Strickland): White-throated Jungle Flycatcher.--_Specimens_, 19: Cocoa Research Station: [Female], 16.7 gm., July 25, 1962, MCT 2662; [Male] testis 6 x 5 mm., 20.7 gm., July 25, 1962, MCT 2663; [Female], 17.9 gm., July 31, 1962, MCT 2686; [Female], September 29, 1962, MCT 2974; [Male], July 8, 1963, ADG 175. 12 mi.
