 '^ Very common both on the mountains above the Semangko Pass, 

 2,700-4,500 ft., and on Grunong Ment^kuang- Lebah and Grunong Uln 

 Kali, w'honoo wo have secured a considerable numlior of specimens. 

 At the former locality the .species l)reeds about January, as very young 

 spcciluen^< ;xnd chicks just emerging from the downy stage were

This species is only known from the three original specimens 

 obtained by Waterstradt, which came from the Ulu Dong in the Lipis 

 District of Pahang on the west side of the Paliang River, and the twt> 

 secured bv mvself at moderate elevations on Gimong Tahan. 



I do not think that it will ultimately prove to be confined to the 

 mountains and I believe that I have heard its call, which is quite differ- 

 ent from that of the common Argus, quite close to Kuala Lipis at 

 not more than 300 or 400 ft. elevation.

Two ? specimens have l)een obtained in the vicinity of Ulu Kali, 

 5,000 ft., one of which is the female type of the species. It is distinctly 

 difficult to ftbtain, as it is by no means common and flies very high 

 while the country it frequents is very broken. A specimen from 

 Gunong Ijau, Larut, 4,750 ft., shot on 12th September, 1908, is 

 marked r? by the native collector, l»ut lias no maroo)! whatever on the 

 shoulder or cinnamon on the under tail coverts, and is, therefore, 

 probably very immature or else a ft-male. Wing 6.5 in., tail 5.1 in.
