22. Robinson on the Mountain-birds of the Malay 

 Peninsula. 



[The Birds at present known from the Mountains of the Malay Pen- 

 insula. By Herbert C. Robinson. Journ. Fed. Malay States Mus. 

 vol. ii. No. 4, p. 1L'4.] 



The energetic Director of the Museums of the Federated 

 Malay States now gives us a list of the birds found in the 

 central mountain-zone of the peninsula, where many inter- 

 esting discoveries have been lately made. His list is based 

 mainly on the very large amount of material now in the 

 Selangor Museum, which, after the elimination of duplicates, 

 contains over 3000 specimens of Malay birds. 



Mr. Robinson commences his article with a short descrip- 

 tion of the various mountains of the Malay Peninsula which 

 have been explored — twelve in all. Although the localities 

 of these ranges are indicated and their approximate heights, 

 which in one case (Gunong Tabang) exceeds 7000 feet, are 

 stated, it would have been better to have added an outline- 

 map shewing their exact positions, as many of them are 

 not marked in ordinary atlases. Next follow the titles 

 of the papers previously published on this subject, Avhich 

 are ten in number. We then come to the List of the 

 Species of the mountains of the Malay Peninsula above 

 the height of 2300 feet, altogether 242 in number, which, 

 with very few exceptions, are represented in the Selangor 

 collection by recently collected specimens of undoubted 

 authenticity.
