Report on the Collection of Birds made during the Voyage of the Yacht ' Marchesa.' Part II. Borneo and the Island of Cagayan Sulu. By F. H . H . G U I L L E MARD, M.A., M.D., F.L.S., &c. [Received April 9, 1885.] (Plate XXV.) Section I. BORNEO. The cruise of the 'Marchesa' in Borneo was confined to the Sarawak district and the territory of the North Borneo Company. Certain islands to the northward were also visited, the most interesting of which was Cagayan Sulu, a solitary volcanic island in the Sulu Sea, from which no specimens have hitherto been brought. Examples of altogether one hundred and fourteen species were obtained from the mainland of Borneo. All these have, with one exception, been previously recorded from that country, and as the chief interest in the collection lies in the fact of some of the localities being new, a list only of the species is here given.
