These three skins, when compared with a series of twenty-one speci- 

 mens of typical Z. aureiventer, Hume, fi'om the coasts of the Malay 

 Peninsula and the islands in the immediate vicinity, clearly show the 

 differences pointed out by Mr. Grant — viz., a darker green upper surface 

 and darker grey under parts. In addition, the throat is a dull greenish 

 yellow, not bright clear yellow as in Z. aureiventer, and the white ring 

 round the eye is not so broad. 



SUMMARY. 



On summarising the foregoing list, we find that the mountains of 

 the Malay Peninsula above the height of 2,300 ft. — the altitude of the 

 Ginting Bidei Pass — are now known to be inhabited by 242 species, 

 which, with very few exceptions, are I'epi-esented by recently collected 

 specimens of undoubted authenticity ; of these 157 species are also 

 met with at lower altitudes, and may be divided into the following' 

 <--lasses : 



A. — Migrants of wide distribution and of no importance for 



Poliomyias luteola 

 Turdiis obscurus 

 Petrophila gidaris 

 Larvivora cyanea 

 Acanthopueuste coronata 

 Motacilla melanope 

 Limonidroraus iudicus 

 15. Dicrurus annectens
