Birds collected at Bukit Tangrg-a among the Hills 



of Negri Sembilan. 



At the beginning of 1914 I intended to start a zoolo- 

 gical Expedition to the interiör of Siarn. Through the court- 

 esy of Mr. C. Boden Kloss of the Federated Malay States 

 Museums I succeded in engaging a Dyak collector who 

 would accompany me on my journey. In order to get that 

 man properly trained, he was sent up to Bukit Tangga 

 in Negri Sembilan to make a collection of birds. Bukit 

 Tangga is situated in the Seramban-Jelebu Pass, where there 

 is a Resthouse at an altitude of 1300 feet. This Resthouse 

 was taken as a headquarter and numerous excursions were 

 made in the surrounding jungles for about three weeks in 

 January 1914. 



During that time 61 specimens of birds were preserved. 



In the Journal of the Federated Malajs States Museums, 

 Vol. IV, N:o 3 & 4, 1911, Mr. Boden Kloss has published a 

 paper on Mammals and Birds collected a t Bukit Tangga and 

 some other localities among the Hills of Negri Sembilan. As 

 my collection comprises some other 21 species which have 

 not been met with and recorded in that paper it appears
