3S Messrs. Robinson and Kloss on Birds from the 



or three clays in December, hawking after termites, which

Caprimulgus jotaka is a migrant, and, except possibly at 

 high elevations, only occurs on the Peninsula from October 

 to March ; but G. amhiguus is resident throughout the year, 

 though much less abundant during these months. 



The former species is very common on the islands in the 

 Straits of Malacca, especially those of the Langkawi group.

Four specimens were shot at Chong with the preceding. 



With the exception of a specimen, now in the Selangor 

 Museum labelled " Penang/' without other particulars, this
