 Cyanoptila cumatilis, Thayer & Bangs, Bull. Mus. 

 Comp. Zool. Harvard, III, 1909, p. 131 (Hupeh, China). 



Our specimens from the Malay Peninsula conform 

 to the description of Thayer and Bangs. It is doubtful 

 however if they represent other than a non-breeding 

 plumage of the true C. cyanomelana (Temm.) from Japan 

 and it has yet to be shown that C. bella (Hay) described 

 from Hongkong does not apply to the second form, the 

 throat being described as " dull blue black." 



32. Pericrocotus cinereus, Lafr. 1 $ 

 Migratory. 



33. Cichloselys sibirica davisoni, Hume. 2$ imm., 



3 9 imm. 



These birds are all very immature, but the Malayan 

 race is probably that described by Hume from Mulejdt 

 if Geocichla inframarginata from the Andamans, des- 

 cribed by BIyth in 1860, is not the same form. 



34. Tardus obscurus (Gm.). 6^,5$ 



A bird of passage in the low country. 



35. Oreocincla dauma (Lath.) . 1 $ 



A single bird shot on the 29th November, 1918, agrees 

 precisely with Oreocincla dauma, which has not been 

 recorded from further south than Central Tenasserim. 

 It is not O. affinis Richmond, from the mountains of 

 Peninsular Siam, with which we have compared it, that 

 species having fourteen and not twelve tail feathers. 

 Wing, 142 mm. 



36. Locustella lanceolata (Temm.). 3$ 



Resident and common in the Malay Peninsula during 

 the winter months. 



37. Phylloscopus borealis borealis (Bias.). 3 5, 2 5 



Common in the Malay Peninsula. All this series are 

 the true A. b. borealis with the smaller first primary and 

 not A. b. xanthclryas, with the larger first primary extend- 

 ing well beyond the coverts, which is occasionally met 

 with. 



38. Phylloscopus inornatus inornatus (Blyth) . 1 $ 



Reguloides humei praemium, Mathews and Iredale 

 Austral. Av. Record iii, p. 45, 1919. 



This is the bird hitherto known as Acanthopneuste 

 superciliosus (Gm.)*. The present example is the most 

 southerly recorded; we have it also from Taiping.
