Lalage nigra (Forster): Pied Triller.—Common in the lowlands near Tawau and Tuaran. On September 19, 1962, I saw an adult feeding one young on Siamil Island.
Pericrocotus igneus igneus Blyth: Fiery Minivet.—Specimens, 3: Cocoa Research Station: ♂, 15.8 gm., August 11, 1962, MCT 2764; ♂, 14.0 gm., August 11, 1962, MCT 2766; ♀, 15.2 gm., August 11, 1962, MCT 2767.
I saw this species only on August 11, 1962, when a flock of eight was seen feeding in a cocoa tree.
The female is somewhat darker than comparative material from Borneo, possibly owing to fresh plumage in my specimen and foxing in the older comparative material.

This minivet was common at the Cocoa Research Station, where it usually inhabited the shade trees in the cocoa groves. The birds seen and the one taken on July 7 were all in heavy molt.
