the Malay Peninsula and those of Sumatra aud Borneo 

 is clearly demonstrated by the collection described in the 

 present memoir, in which 175 species are enumerated. 

 Seven of these appear to represent undescribed forms — a 

 remarkable Jay [Cissa robinsoni), a White-eye [Zoster ops 

 tahanensis), a Short-wing (Brachypteryx wrayi), a small 

 Flycatcher {Muscicapula malayana), a very dark-coloured and 

 quite distinct Green Woodpecker {Gecinus robinsoni), a small 

 Owl [Heteroscops vulpes), and a very distinct Green Fruit- 

 Pigeon (Sphenocercus robinsoni). These novelties have been 

 already characterized in the Bulletin of the B. O. C. Among 

 other birds of interest special attention is called to Syrnium 

 maingayi (a very rare Wood-Owl), Rheinardtius nigrescens 

 (the Malayan representative of the Crested Argus), and 

 Polyplectron inopinatus (the beautiful Peacock-Pheasant 

 lately described by Mr. Rothschild). Many good field- 

 notes are supplied by Mr. Robinson and distinguished 

 by his initials. The Malayan Bulltinch [Pyrrhula water- 

 stradti) was found to be by no means uncommon on the 

 rnoorland-zone of Gunong Tahan, but was wild and difficult 

 to approach. 



Figures are given of Gecinus robinsoni, Cissa robinsoni, and 

 Heteroscops vulpes.

We have to thank the Editor for a copy of this Journal, 

 which is regularly sent to us. The three parts last received 

 complete the eighteenth volume. Although we have fre- 

 quently noticed separate papers extracted from it, we now 

 wish to call attention to its importance, as a whole, to the 

 student of palgearctic ornithology, a subject to which it is 

 specially devoted. It contains many articles relating to the 

 birds of Eastern Asia and South-eastern Europe. There are 

 also in every number notices of papers, little known in 

 England, from which much information may be obtained.
