oddaert): Brahminy Kite.--This common resident of the Cocoa Research Station was observed almost daily while I was in the field. It seemed to prefer the cleared areas replanted to cocoa and oil palm and was common also at Tawau, Semporna, and Karindingen Island. _=Accipiter trivirgatus microstictus=_ Mayr: Crested Goshawk.--_Specimens_, 2: Pintasan Agriculture Station: [Male], October 17, 1963, ADG 314. Cocoa Research Station: [Male], April 30, 1963, ADG 89. _=Spizaetus cirrhatus limnaetus=_ (Horsfield): Changeable Hawk-eagle.--_Specimen_, 1: Tiger Estate: [Male], April 28, 1963, ADG 74 (Specimen in black phase). _=Hieraetus kienerii formosus=_ (E. Geoffroy): Rufous-bellied Hawk-eagle.--_Specimens_, 2: Cocoa Research Station: [Female] imm., July 10, 1962, MCT 2615. Tiger Estate: [Female], July 13, 1962, MCT 2621. The presence of an immature bird of this species in North Borneo lends support to the suggestion of Smythies (1957:580) that this species breeds in Borneo. _fHaliaeetus leucogaster=_ (Gmelin): White-bellied Sea Eagle.--This eagle appears to be fairly common along the coast in the Tawau-Darvel Bay area. I saw it around Cowie Harbor, Tawau, Semporna, and Siamil Island. _=Spilornis cheela=_ Latham: Crested Serpent Eagle.--I saw this eagle but once, circling overhead at the Cocoa Research Station on September 26, 1962. _=Microhierax latifrons=_ Sharpe: White-fronted Falconet.--_Specimens_, 2: Cocoa Research Station: [Male] testis 2 x 1 mm., 41.2 gm., July 6, 1962, MCT 2600. Tiger Estate: [Female] oviduct regressing, old brood patch, December 1, 1962, MCT 3418. This species was first seen at the Cocoa Research Station. The specimen taken there bobbed its head in the manner of various other falcons. On two occasions individuals were observed sitting in a low tree in the front yard of a home in Kalabakan. These records extend the known range of this species south from Darvel Bay (Smythies, 1960:161) to Cowie Harbor. _=Falco peregrinus japonensis=_ Gmelin: Peregrine Falcon.--_Specimen_, 1: Kampong Kuamut: [Male], October 20, 1963, ADG 327. _=Coturnix chinensis=_ (Linnaeus): Painted Quail.--_Specimen_, 1: Cocoa Research Station: [Male] testis 8 x 5 mm., September 6, 1962, MCT 2881. This specimen is intermediate between _C. c. lineata_ and _C. c. caerulescens_, tending slightly toward the latter in having more rufous coloring on the te
