5. Treron nipalensis. 



Treron nipalensis (Hodgs.) ; Salvad. torn. cit. p. 31 ; 

 Robinson, p. 169. 



Fairly common everywhere, though less so than Osmo- 

 treron vernans and O. olax, and not forming flights to the 

 same extent as those species. Numerous in Trang and 

 also in Terutau. 



6. OSMOTRERON BICINCTA. 



Osmotreron bicincta (Jerd.) ; Salvad. torn. cit. p 57. 



Exceedingly rare in the Peninsula, though sporadically 

 distributed, being recorded from Salanga (Tongkah), Kuala 

 Selangor, and Malacca. In Trang a single specimen was 

 obtained by our collectors. 



The single bird we ourselves obtained was shot out of a 

 flock of 0. vernans at Kuala Selangor on the Selangor coast 

 in December 190-t. 



7. OSMOTRERON VERNANS. 



Osmotreron vernans (Linn.) ; Salvad. torn. cit. p. 60. 



This, the commonest Green Pigeon in the Peninsula, is 

 found everywhere throughout the country except in thick 

 jungle and on the mountains. 



8. Myristicivora bicolor. 



Myristicivora bicolor (Scop.) ; Salvad. torn. cit. p. 227. 



The White Nutmeg-Pigeon, the rawa of the Malays, like 

 the other species of the genus, is rarely found except on 

 small islands or among the mangroves in the immediate 

 vicinity of the coast. On the small islands in the Straits of 

 Malacca, notably Pulau Jarak, and on others on the east 

 coast of Pahang, it is extremely common and affords very 

 good sport, though for the table the bird is usually tough 

 and tasteless. It was met with, though sparingly, on some 

 of the outlying islands of the Langkawi group in February 

 1909.
