 ^ 257. Leptocoma hasselti. 



Cinnyris hasselti (Temm.) ; Gadow, torn. cit. p. 67. 



Not rare along the coast and islands of the Malay 

 Peninsula, but seldom^ if ever, seen at any considerable 

 distance inland. 



Abundant at Pulau Terutau in December 1907 and 

 March 1909, and met with sparingly at Trang. 



'f 258. Cyrtostomus pectoralis. 



Cinnyris pectoralis (Horsf.) ; Gadow, torn. cit. p. 83. 



Both this and the following species are found in the 

 northern parts of the Peninsula, C. flammaxillaris being not 

 uncommon in the Langkawi group, while both occur in 

 Trang. 



-j' 259. Cyrtostomus flammaxillaris. 



Cinnyris flammaxillai'is (Blyth) ; Gadow, torn. cit. p. 83. 



T 260. Arachnothera longirostris. 



Arachnothera longirostris (Lath.); Gadow, torn. cit. p. 103; 

 Robinson, p. 213. 



Only two or three specimens of this species were obtained. 

 In the central and southern portions of the Peninsula it 

 is very abundant, together with A. modesta, especially in 

 the banana-plantations. 



-^ 261. Arachnothera modesta. 



Arachnothera modesta (Eyton) ; GadoAv, tom. cit. p. 107 ; 

 Robinson, p. 214. 



Quite the commonest species in the Peninsula generally. 



Very few, however, were met with in Trang, the larger and 

 more powerful A. robusta and A. flavigaster appearing to 

 monopolize the flowering trees, whence we obtained the 

 majority of our specimens of this genus. 



+ 262. Arachnothera chrysogenys. 



Arachnotliera chrysogenys Temm. ; Gadow, tom. cit. 

 p. 108. 



Rather rarer in Trang than the other members of tlie 

 genus and nowhere very abundant.
