tgi7- H. C. Robinson : Birds from Pulau Langkawi. 135 



During our stay from January g-i2th, a very strong 

 easterly wind, which only dropped for a few hours in the earlj 

 morning, forced us to lie under the lee of a small island, I'ulau 

 Depok, some three miles distant from the settlement, and on 

 several occasions we were nearly swamped in getting to and 

 leaving the main island. 



We obtained a large series of mammals including a lotong 

 and a kra, a mousedeer, musang and tangelin, and rats and 

 squirrels of several species. 



Such birds as were obtained show that the fauna is of 

 mainland rather than insular facies as the occurrence of such 

 genera as Calorhamphus and Phyllomis indicates. Peafowl are 

 said to occur though we did not obtain any, Buffalo, both fen'd 

 and domesticated are common, and tiger are occasionally met 

 with while serow (iV emorrhoedus) are abundant on a limestone 

 island between Pulau Lontar and the shore. The main island 

 appears to have but little limestone on it while Pulau Depok, 

 near which we were anchored, was of sandstone, but many 

 islets in the vicinity, especially to the NIC. were of the 

 characteristic limestone formation.

 " Iris dull blue, inner ring pink, orbits verditer

Fairly common both on this island, Langkawi and 

 Terutau, though these latter specimens as also birds from 

 Trang. are decidedly nearer the typical T. curvirostra 

 curvirostra from Sumatra.
