3091; [Female], October 20, 1962, MCT 3099; [Male], October 20, 1962,
MCT 3101.

This species was fairly common along streams deep in the primary
forest at Quoin Hill.

_=Ceyx erithacus=_ ssp. (Linnaeus): Forest Kingfisher.--_Specimens_, 4:
Cocoa Research Station: [Male], 13.2 gm., September 14, 1962, MCT 2924;
12 mi. N Kalabakan: [Male], October 18, 1962, MCT 3075; [Female],
October 26, 1962, MCT 3163. Oil Palm Research Station: [Male], September
5, 1963, ADG 273.

All specimens taken showed characters intermediate between those of
the subspecies _C. e. motleyi_ and _C. e. rufidorsus_. Voous (1951)
states that, in all the Malaysian region, the greatest number of
hybrids between these two subspecies occurred in Borneo and,
further, that he could find hybrid specimens showing practically
all imaginable character combinations. My specimens also showed
these intermediate tendencies and I am unable at present to
allocate the specimens to subspecies.

Bee-eater.--_Specimens_, 9: Mt. Rumas: [Male], March 5, 1963, ADG 9;

[Male], October 22, 1963, ADG 302; [Female], October 12, 1963, ADG 303.

These specimens were all taken in March and October and seem to
support Smythies' (1957:664) idea that they arrive with the
northeast monsoon (October to March) and are absent the rest of the
year.

_=Nyctiornis amicta=_ (Temminck): Red-bearded Bee-eater.--_Specimen_, 1:
Cocoa Research Station: [Male], September 27, 1962, molting, MCT 2970.

The specimen was taken along a stream in the deep primary forest,
where it was sitting on a dead twig overlooking the stream. The
call note was much like that of a scolding squirrel. This was the
only time this species was observed in the Quoin Hill area.
