MR. JOHN WHITEHEAD returned to Labuan in safety from his second expedition to Kina Balu, and is daily expected in England. He ascended the mountain to its summit, and attained to an altitude
of 13,500 feet. His collection will contain many novelties, the small portion sent by him in advance to Mr. Bowdler Sharpe exhibiting many curious features. The new species will be
described by Mr. Sharpe in the forthcoming number of the Ibis, and four genera and twelve species appear to be quite new to science. Mr. Whitehead spent altogether eight months on the
mountain of Kina Balu, and is at present known to have discovered thirty-one new species of birds. On his last expedition he met with fifteen different kinds of rodents, and his collections
of reptiles and insects are also very large.
