506 Lieut. H. R. Kelham on 



Prionochilus percussus (Temm.). 

 All my specimens are from Malacca. 



Prionochilus maculatus (Temm.). 

 As with the last, all from Malacca. 



Lanius bintet, Horsf. 



The L. schach of Linnseus. 



I once saw this Shrike in Singapore ; further east it is 

 common. 



I shot a great many among the Kowloon Hills^ on the 

 mainland near Hong Kong^ where it was exceedingly plen- 

 tiful, its favourite post being the topmost spray of one of the 

 stunted firs which are sparsely scattered over the hill- 

 sides ; it was a particularly noticeable bird on account of its 

 harsh cry. 



Lanius cristatus, Linn. 



I occasionally came across this Shrike in Singapore. A 

 specimen I got at Malacca is slightly under 8 inches in 

 lensrth.

Lalage terat (Bodd.). 



This Black-and-white Bulbul, as we used to call it, is com- 

 mon in Perak and Singapore, breeding in both places. 



In my notes I wrote as follows : — 



'' Singapore, 19th July 1879. Today I shot one of the 

 black-and-white-plumaged birds, L. terat, which I so fre- 

 quently saw on the open ground bordering the river near 

 Kwala Kangsar. 



" Singapore, 1st Sept. 1879. The young of the pied Lalage 

 terat are now about our garden in front of the Mess, and make 

 a most strange plaintive noise, like a child crying ; in appear- 

 ance they resemble the parent birds, but are not nearly so 

 distinctly marked, and are considerably mottled.'^ 



Tephrodornis gularis (Raffl.). 



I got a specimen of this Wood- Shrike from a Portuguese 

 collector at Malacca.
