NILS GYLDENSTOLPE, MALAYAN BIRDS AND MAMMALS. U 



18. Burnesia flaviventris Deless. — 2 c? c? 'V& l^^^J 

 1 2 ^Vr' 19i5- Iris: reddish brown. Apparently a low-land 

 species and rather common. 



19. Siitoria maculicollis Moore. — 1 ^ -'Ib 1915; i J 

 13/5 1915. Iris: reddish brown. This is apparently a southern 

 form, which only inhabits the southern parts of the Malay 

 Peninsula being replaced in the north by the allied Sutoria 

 sutoria FoRST. It may, hovvever, always be distinguished 

 from that species by having white streaks on the ear-coverts. 



20. Orthotomiis sepium cineraceus Blyth. — 1 c? ^V^ 

 1915; 1 ? ^h 19^5- I"^' brown. Bill: brown. Legs: flesh 

 colour. The female specimen is not quite fullgrown and has 

 the quills brown washed with olive-green externally and there 

 is a subterminal black spöt on the tail-feathers; underparts 

 of the body white, with the exception of a narrow line along 

 the middle which is washed with yellow; under tail-coverts 

 påle yellow; upper parts of the body as in the adult birds. 



21. Locustella certliiola Pall. - 1 ? ^'h 1915. Iris: 

 brown. Tot. length: 147 mm.; Wing: 65 mm.; Tail: 56 mm.; 

 Culmen: 12 mm.; Tarsus 20 mm. This is a new record to 

 the Malayan Fauna. My specimen is quite typical, and the 

 white tips on the tail-feathers are very well-marked indeed. 

 The allied Locustella lanceolata Temm. has been obtained along 

 the coasts but it may always be distinguished by lacking 

 the white tips to the tail-feathers. 



22. Kittacincla macrurus macrurus Gm. — 1 c? 'V* 

 1915; 1 c? 174 1915. Iris: dark brown. 



23. Trichixos pyrropyga Less. — 1 J" Vo 1915. Iris: 

 brown; Wing: 101 mm.; Tail: 102 mm.; Culmen: 20 mm. 

 This species is locally distributed över the whole Peninsula 

 but seems to be more abundant in the low-lying country 

 than among the hills and higher mountains. 



24. Macronus ptilosus Jard. & Selby. — 2 c? c? V^ 

 1915; 1 c? 'V^ 1915; 1 ? ''^ 1915; 1 ? ^^4 1915. This fine 

 Timeliidce is one of the most common members of the family 

 in the Peninsula, where it generally inhabits the low-lying 

 country.
