A HAND-LIST 
OF THE BIRDS OF THE MALAY PENINSULA, 
SOUTH OF THE ISTHMUS OF KRA. 
By HERBERT C. ROBINSON, c.m.z.s., M.B.0.U., 
DirEcTOR oF Museums, FeprrArED MaAray STaAres. 
PN December, 1907, I published in the “Journal of the Federated 
Malay States” (Vol. u., p. 66-83) a list of the birds then 
known from the Peninsular area, as indicated above. Since that date, 
however, a considerable number of additions have been made to the 
list and new facts been brought to light. I have, therefore, recast the 
list with a few supplementary notes, but, for convenience of reference, 
have retained the original numbering, merely interpolating species not 
previously included under a letter. Species not represented in the 
collections of one or other of the Federated Malay States Museums are 
printed in antique type—e.g., Rheinwardtius. Those whose occur- 
rence in the Malay Peninsula is somewhat doubtful are enclosed in 
square brackets.

Selangor, collected in March, 1208, and an immature male from Pulau Rumpia, 
one of the Sembilan Islands, off the mouth of the Perak River, shot in April, 1906,
