"/r, 1915. Iris: brown. This fine species seems to be rather 

 common along the coasts of the Malay Peninsula, but does 

 not extend far nortli in the Peninsula, the most northern 

 limities seems to be about Lat. N. 7°. The type of this 

 species came from Java, and compared with a series from 

 that locality, the Malayan specimens show no differences 

 whatever. 



12. Chalcostetha pectoralis Temm. — 2 ^^ ^V^ 1915; 

 1 c? V^ 1915; 1 ? Vr. 1915: 1 $ "/^ 1915. Iris: dark brown. 



13. Prionochilus maculatus Temm. — 1 $ 24/^ 1915. Tot. 

 length: 93 mm.; Wing: 50 mm.;Culmen: 10 mm Iris: reddish 

 brown.^ This species, though universally distributed över the 

 whole Peninsula from about Lat. N. 12°, seems to be rather 

 rare in collections, and my Dyak only obtained this single 

 specimen during his stay in Perak. 



14. Otomela cristata Linn. — 1 $ Vs 1915. Iris: brown. 

 A common winter visitor to the Malay Peninsula. The 

 specimen obtained is a young bird showing the dark cross- 

 bars of the breast and abdomen which are signs of im- 

 maturity. 



15. Lanius tigrinus Dräp. — 1 § ^V* 1915. Iris: brown. 

 As in the former species young specimens are more common 

 than adult birds during the winter months. A migratory bird 

 to the Malay Peninsula. 



16. Muscitrea grisola Blyth. — 1 c? 7* 1915; 1 ? Vö 

 1915. Iris: brown. This species seems to be exclusively 

 confined to the coastal zone, where it, however, is rather 

 abundant. The specimens from Teluk Anson exactly a^rree 

 with a series obtained on the eastern side of the Malay 

 Peninsula viz. at Koh Lak in the Siamese Malaya. 



17. Hemipus obscurus Horsf. — 1 c? Vs 1915. Iris: 

 brown. Wing: 68,3 mm.; Culmen: 12 mm. This is a more 

 southern form beeing replaced in the north by the near allied 

 Hemipus picatus Sykes. Compared with a series from Java 

 there is no difference to be noticed. The Javan birds are 

 perhaps slightly smaller.
