1963, ADG 46; sex?, December 3, 1963, SCFC 17. _=Carpococcyx radiceus radiceus=_ (Temminck): Ground Cuckoo.--_Specimen_, 1: 12 mi. N Kalabakan: [Male] imm., November 7, 1962, MCT 3217. This male was taken in a native snare in primary forest and provides our only record. The specimen is in the postjuvenal (first prebasic) molt. This record is the first for this species from North Borneo (Smythies, 1957:643); others are known from Sarawak and Indonesian Borneo. _=Otus bakkamoena lemurum=_ Deignan. Collared Scops Owl.--_Specimens_, 3: Tiger Estate: [Female], November 25, 1962, MCT 3319. Tenom: [Male] testis 6 x 5 mm., body molt, January 1, 1963, MCT 3552. Agricultural Oil Palm Station: [Male], October 6, 1963, ADG 299. The specimen from Tenom was taken in a bird net set in a grass-scrubland situation; the testes were regressing. Harrison (Smythies, 1957:645) found this species breeding in the Kelabit uplands in January. _=Glaucidium brodiei borneense=_ Sharpe: Pygmy Owlet.--_Specimen_, 1: Ulu Balung: [Male], July 19, 1963, ADG 210. The specimen taken by Garcia is the sixth known (Smythies, 1957:646) from Borneo and the first from the east coast. Specimens were collected in 1956 in North Borneo by the Cambridge Expedition. _=Ninox scutulata borneensis=_ (Bonaparte): Hawk-owl.--_Specimen_, 1: Tenom: [Female] largest ovum 2 mm., oviduct evident, January 6, 1963, MCT 3583. This female, taken in a bird net in a grass-scrubland association, was coming into breeding condition. _=Strix leptogrammica=_ Temminck: Malaysian Wood Owl.--_Specimens_, 2: Cocoa Research Station: sex?, July 9, 1963, ADG 182; [Male], May 25, 1963, ADG 111. On September 7, 1962, I flushed two of these owls from a tree beside the Apas River in primary forest. One was subsequently shot but lost. Garcia's two specimens were not identified to subspecies. _=Caprimulgus macrurus salvadori=_ Sharpe: Long-tailed Nightjar.--_Specimens_, 3: Tuaran: [Female], January 12, 1963, MCT 3592; [Female], March 2, 1963, ADG 6. Mt. Rumas: [Male], March 6, 1963, ADG 13. This was an abundant bird on the Jesselton-Tuaran road but was not seen at any of the other collecting stations in North Borneo. _=Collocalia fuciphaga natunae=_ Stresemann: Thunberg Swiftlet.--_Specimens_, 3: Cocoa Research Station: [Female] largest ovum 7 mm., oviduct enlarged, 13
