Though it occurs in Trang, the Dial-bird, or Straits Robin, 

 is much rarer than in Selangor, where it is the commonest 

 and most familiar of garden birds.

 Islands.

Common, both at Trang and on the Langkawis. 



The Shama is another of the Malayan birds that is espe- 

 cially numerous on the outlying islands, probably because 

 they aflFord the rocky jungle-covered hill-sides that the bird 

 generally frequents. On Pulau Tioman, off the east coast of 

 the Peninsula, it is so numerous as to be almost the 

 dominant species.

Two specimens of a Pale-legged Willow- Warbler obtained 

 at Chong and on the hills above it agree perfectly with the

 and China. The present locality is the most southerly 

 recorded for the species.

 most generally distributed of the genus in the Malay Penin- 

 sula, but they are all rare except in the extreme north.
