Lampong, in the southeastern corner, show that the majority of the 

 species occur at both points. In fact, the high mountains of the 

 south-central part of Sumatra seem to be the only region where a 

 conspicuously different avifauna exists. The materials are, how- 

 ever, far too limited to warrant any positive statements on the 

 matter. 



In the following list the material in collection of the Academy 

 has been used for comparison, and also several skins loaned by 

 the U. S. National Museum, through Dr. C. W. Richmond, for

 have been verified except a few which are marked with an asterisk.
