BIRDS FROM SIAJVI AND THE MALAY PENINSULA 15 



Terutau, November 8-21; reached Victoria Island, Tenasserini, 

 December 4-5; was off TanjoDg Badak, on the mainland, December 

 9-10, and Champang, December 13-22. Then the following islands 

 were visited: St. Matthew, December 24; Sir William James, Decem- 

 ber 29-30; Sullivans, January 4-6, 1904; Domel, January 22-30; 

 Kisseraing, February 2-5. He then stopped at Boyces Point on the 

 mainland, February 9-12; Telok Krang, February 14-17; 6 miles 

 south of Boyces Point, February 17; Red Point, February 18-23; 

 Sungei Balik, February 25-26; Telok Besar, February 27 to March 

 6; Maliwun, March 7-9; Victoria Point, March 12; Telok Besar, 

 March 18-21; Victoria Point, March 29; and again at Pulo Terutau, 

 April 6, 1904, on his way to Singapore. 



I have thought it weU to include all the birds collected by Dr. 

 Abbott on the various expeditions mentioned above, except those 

 from Pulo Tioman, the Rhio Archipelago, the Tambelans, and 

 Anambas; the latter two have been worked up by Dr. Harry C. 

 Oberholser,^ and the others are beyond the scope of this paper. 



Tenasserini, the Mergui Archipelago, and the Alalay States are 

 also outside the limits of the present paper, but it is thought well to 

 record the specimens from these localities, as they add few birds 

 unrecorded from Siam and help to show the distribution of the forms 

 to better advantage. 



Dr. Abbott was probably the first naturalist to make collections in 

 the interior of Trang, and quite a number of his birds were unrecorded 

 from Siam at the time they were taken, but as the interior of Penin- 

 sular Siam has been visited several times since by other parties, most 

 of his records have been duplicated. He, however, took the following 

 birds that still remain otherwise unrecorded from Siam: 



Nannocnus eurythmus. Hydrocissa malayana. 



Sterna albifrons saundersi. Cranobrontes corrugatus. 



Cuculus micropierus concretus. Cyanops henrici henrici. 

 Hirundapus giganteus giganteus. 



The following forms of birds have been described from Dr. Abbott's 

 Malay Peninsula collections:
