<? . Giiitins Bidoi, Sclangor, 2,300 ff . May, 1908. 



A single specimen from the above locality agrees well with Shaq^e's 

 flescription of the type. Wing 13.5 in.

Syrnium uewarense (Hodgs.); Sliarjie, Cat., p. 281 ; id. (2), p. 434. 



Besides the specimen cited by Sharpe (supra) from the Larut 

 Hills, I have examined another specimen from the Waterloo Estate 

 near Taiping, which agrees well with the specimen of S. mainqayi 

 noted above. In all probability all tbe wood owls of this type from 

 the Malay Peninsula should be considered to belong to S. niaingayi, 

 which is at best but a sub-species of >S'. indrani or S. neivarense.

Alcedo euryzona (Temm.) ; Sharpe, Cat. Birds Brit. Mus.,x\n., p. 154 

 (1892): Hart'ert.-p. 543. 



Though I have never ()btained a specimen, and though there ai'e 

 none in the Selangor Museum, I insert this bird in the list, as we con- 

 stantly met with a single individual on the Semangko Pass in February, 

 1908, though it was so exceedingly wary that no one of our party was 

 able to oV)tain it. It was also not uncommon at Kuala Teku at the 

 foot of Gunong Tahan. There is a specimen in the Perak Museum 

 from the vicinity of Taiping. 



26. CEYX TJUDACTVLA-yALLX'S THREE-TOED KINGFISHER. 



Ceyx tridactyla (Pall.) ; Sharpe, Cat., p. 174. 



Though abundant i)n deep jungle streams in the low country, birds 

 uf this genus are rare on the hills. There are two specimens in the 

 Museum, iminature and male adult, from the Semangko Pass, shot in 

 Novemlx?r and February, respectively.
