1. Platysiiiuriis leucopteriis Temm. — 1 J ^7^ 1915. 

 Iris: reddish brown. This is a rather common species in the 

 Malay Peninsula and extends nortbwards into Southern Te- 

 nasserim and the Siamese Malaya, but it was not obtained 

 during my stay in Siarn 1914 — 1915. Malay name: burong 

 kambing. 



2. Disseimirus paradisens paradiseus Linn. — 1 J" V^ 

 1915; 1 ^ 2^4 1915. Several geographical races have been 

 distinguished of this pretty bird, which is very abundant 

 in every part of the Malay Peninsula. The Malayan bird 

 belongs to the typical form, which is characterized by its 

 short crest. Both in size and colour of the plumage abso- 

 lutely identical with the Javan race, which has been given 

 the name of D. paradiseus platurus by Vieillot. This latter 

 name then only becomes a synonym. 



3. Aploriiis panayensi^ strigatus > affinis. — 1 c? ^Vr> 

 1915. Iris: red. Specimens from the Malay Peninsula seems 

 to be intermediate between the Javan race {Aplornis pana- 

 yensis strigatus Horsf.) and the race found in Cachar (^4. 

 panayensis affinis A. Hay) as shown by a fine series from 

 Java and Borneo in the collections of the Royal Natural 

 History Museum of Stockholm. 



4. Ploceus passerinus infortuiiatus Hart. — 1 J" '7+ 

 1915. Wing = 67 mm. 1 ^ ^5 1915 Wing = 65,5 mm. 1 J* 

 ^7^ 1915. Wing = 66,5 mm. Iris: brown. — When Hartert 

 described this subspecies he gave the length of the wing to 

 69—71,5 mm. (NTov. Zool. Vol. IX, 1902, p. 578). As seen 

 by the measurements all my specimens from Teluk Anson 

 are still smaller. 



5. Muiiia maja Linn. — 1 $ 7^ 1915. Iris: brown. 



6. Munia atricapilla Vieill. — 1 ^ '^i 1915; 1 c? juv. 

 ^7^ 1915. Iris: adult = reddish brown; young = black. The 

 Malayan birds belong to the typical race. Other subspe- 

 cies are 31. atricapilla rubronigra Hodgs. which is a more
