112 THE BIRDS OF THE WESTERN HALF 



I now subjoin two lists, one of the 28 species that have to 

 be added to our list, and the other of the 15 species of which, 

 though previously entered, we have now for the first time 

 procured specimens ; and I will add a few remarks on certain 

 other species to which I wish to call attention. 



As in previous lists, species occurring elsewhere in the 

 British Asian Empire, outside the particular tract we are 

 working, are entered in italics. Those not so occurring in 

 ordinary Roman text. A star prefixed signifies that we have 

 ourselves shot and preserved or procured specimens. 



Species to be added to the List. 



*103 ter. — Collocalia i?mominata i Hume. 



[Selangore. ] 



A single specimen of this fine large Swiftlet, the only one 

 of this species that we have as yet met with in the Malay 

 Peninsula, was shot for us near the town of Selangore, in the 

 state of that name, by Mr. H. C. Syers on the 2nd of 

 November 1879. 



165 bis. — Hemicercus canente, Less. 



A nest of this species was taken by Mr. Darling, at 

 Kussoom, only about 120 miles south of the southernmost 

 point of Tenasserim and one of the parents captured, identified 

 and made over to one of the taxidermists to skin, but what 

 became thereafter of that skin never subsequently transpired. 



*177 bis. — Gecinulus viridis, Bly. 



[Kussoom.] 



A single specimen was obtained quite in the north of the 

 Peninsula at Kussoom, on the mainland a little north of Junk 

 Ceylon. 



*178. — Micropternus phaoceps, Bly. 



[Klang, Selangore.] 



Strange as it may seem we procured a typical specimen of 

 phaoceps at Klang in about 3" North Latitude. We have obtain- 

 ed scores of specimens of Micropterni north and south of, and 

 at this same locality, and all have been brachyurus with the 

 central portions of the throat feathers very much darker than 

 the breast feathers, and with the generally darker and duller 

 shade of plumage that characterises that species ; but here we 

 obtained a single specimen with the central portions of the 

 throat feathers unicolorous with the breast, and with the
