Phaenicophaeus diardi borneensis (Salvadori): Lesser Green-billed Malcoha.—Specimens, 3: Cocoa Research Station: ♀, 58.2 gm., July 22, 1962, MCT 2636; ♀, 55.8 gm., September 8, 1962, MCT 2890; ♂, September 13, 1962, MCT 2918.
This malcoha was seen only three times; it was the second most common malcoha.
Phaenicophaeus javanicus pallidus (Robinson and Kloss): Red-billed Malcoha.—Specimens, 2: Cocoa Research Station: ♀, 97.0 gm., August 31, 1962, MCT 2841; ♂, 98.0 gm., September 8, 1962, MCT 2889.
The two specimens were taken in cocoa. On October 2, 1962, I saw one about 100 feet up in the top canopy layer of the primary forest at the Cocoa Research Station and, on October 3, two more hopping from branch to branch about 150 feet up in a tree.
Phaenicophaeus curvirostris borneensis (Blasius and Nehrkorn): Chestnut-breasted Malcoha.—Specimens, 7: Cocoa Research Station: ♀ old brood patch, 121.8 gm., July 6, 1962, MCT 2602; ♀, September 4, 1962, MCT 2864; ♂ testis 3 × 2 mm., 143.6 gm., wing molt, July 7, 1962, MCT 2611; ♂ testis 6 × 2 mm., 111.0 gm., August 11, 1962, MCT 2763; ♀, May 25, 1963, ADG 110. Ulu Balung: sex?, July 24, 1963, ADG 216. Tiger Estate: ♂, June 22, 1963, ADG 156.
This was the most numerous of the malcohas at the Cocoa Research Station. It was observed in primary forest, secondary forest, citrus trees, and cocoa trees. In the primary forest it ranged in the upper canopy from 100 to 150 feet up.
As Peters has indicated (1940:56), the name P. c. borneensis (Blasius and Nehrkorn) 1881 has priority over P. c. microrhinus Berlepsch 1895 (used by Smythies).
Centropus sinensis (Stephens): Common Coucal.—Specimen, 1: Cocoa Research Station: ♀, May 15, 1963, ADG 108.
The finding of a coucal at the Cocoa Research Station on May 15, 1963, came as something of a surprise, since none had been seen there earlier by our group. Coucals were seen at Tawau but were not collected or identified to species.
Centropus bengalensis (Gmelin): Lesser Coucal.—Specimens, 2: Tuaran: ♀, April 1, 1963, ADG 46; sex?, December 3, 1963, SCFC 17.
Carpococcyx radiceus radiceus (Temminck): Ground Cuckoo.—Specimen, 1: 12 mi. N Kalabakan: ♂ imm., November 7, 1962, MCT 3217.
