Mr. Murpliy is able to refute a few errors and settle a few 

 uncertainties in his concluding paragraphs regarding these 

 remarkable birds, about which so much has been written 

 of late years.

As our own pages and those of the ' Journal of the 

 Federated Malay States Museum ' show, the activity and

 Hallway runs. The fauna of this area is intermediate 

 between that of the southern i)arts of the Malay Peninsula 

 and Tenasserim, and about eight species are added to the 

 list of Malayan birds. 



Koh Samui and Koh Pennan are two islands lying off the 

 coast of ]3andon, the province which was dealt with in the 

 preceding paper. Here the main object of the visits of 

 Messrs. Robinson and Kloss was the acquisition of a series of 

 local mammals, but a number of birds were also obtained, 

 though nothing of very great interest, except the little 

 Swift {Colloca/ia inerguiensis) , which was extraordinarily

 Chinese for eating purposes. This species is new to the
