With refjard to the range of the eudoinie Peniusulav fonni«, it may 

 Ix^ noted that thev are verv evenly distributed throiio-hout the main 

 range, from as far north as has been explored to Gunong Uhi Kali in 

 Selangor ; south of Gintiug Bidei in Selangor, practically all disappear ; 

 Gunong Angsi in Negri Sembilan, 3,000 ft., app., and Mt. Ophir 

 on the borders of Malacca and Johore possessing none 



The hills behind Lakon in the N.-E. Coast of the Peninsula, which 

 attain a height of over 5,000 ft. and have not yet lieen explored, may 

 possibly yield fiu'ther species, in view of tlie fact that the Traug hills 

 on the same latitude on the West Coast, which are, however, of less 

 elevation, undoubtedly possess certain mountain forms ; the specific 

 distinctness, however, of a proportion of the forms described therefrom 

 is open to question. 



Further analysis of this list of 77 resident mountain species 

 discloses the fact that the larger proportion is derived from Teuasserim 

 and the mainland of Asia, and not from the Sunda Islands, as is the case 

 with the submontane forms, which is clearlv shown bv the f<^)llowing 

 tables : 



Submontane avifauna, 142 species — 



100 



On going through the list in detail, one is struck, ou the whole, by 

 the lack of differentiation in the species : for, tliough 46 out of the 242 

 are not found elsewhere, hardly any of them are much more than sub- 

 species and only nine or ten are really distinct forms. The mountains 

 of the Malay Peninsula have been about equally well explored with 

 Kina Balu, and what they lack in height, as compared with tliat 

 mountain, they make up in area. The present list comprises 242
