With very few exceptions the birds with which this paper 

 deals were all obtained on the western side of the Malay 

 Peninsula, southwards from the State of Trang, to the mouth 

 of the Kedali River in the State of the same name, about 

 thirty miles north of Peuang, and including the islands of 

 Pulau Langkawi and Terutau about seventy-five miles north 

 of Penang and seven or eight miles west of the peninsular 

 coast. We have given a brief account of the general 

 characters of each collecting -station, which may be of 

 interest as explaining the type of fauna met with, and have 

 added the dates at which we visited each station, the season 

 in the north of the peninsula being a much more important 

 factor in the distribution of the bird-population than it 

 appears to be in the central and southern sections. 



As many of the places mentioned are hardly to be found 

 on anv ordinary atlas, the Editors have kindly allowed us to 

 supply an outline map of the Peninsula (text-fig. 6, p. 663), 

 indicating the majority of the States and the general natural 

 and political features of the country, the latter of which have 

 been much modified by the Anglo-Siamese treaty of 1909. 



Starting from the south the first locality from which we 

 have obtained specimens dealt with in the present paper is 

 Kuala Kedah, the mouth of the Kedah River, the word 

 " Kuala " being the Malay for the mouth of a river or, 

 equally, for the confluence of two streams.
