120 THE BIRDS OF THE WESTERN HALF 



prodigious numbers on the coasts of the Malay Peninsula, but 

 since we have been regularly collecting there, they have been 

 extremely rare. 



List of species entered in our First List, but now for the first 

 time obtained. 



*23 ter. — Astur soloensis, Horsf. 



[Malacca, Klang.] 



*41. — Polioaetus ichthyaetus, Horsf. 



[Poongah, about 8° N. Lat.] 



Not yet observed further south. Leucogaster, on the other 

 hand, is common everywhere along the Coast, and on every 

 island. 



*55. — Haliastur Indus, Bodd. 



[Klang, Selangore.] 



This specimen, though obtained well down in the Malayan 

 Peninsula, has the dark central streaks as strongly developed 

 as in any Indian specimen, and shows no tendency towards 

 the intermediate Javanese race, or a fortiori to H. leucosternum 

 of Australia. 



*56 ter. — Milvns afjinis, Gould. 



[Klang.] 



This is the only specimen we have yet even seen in the 

 Malayan Peninsula. 



*83. — Hirundo javanica, Sparrm. 



[Kussoom, mouth of the Poongah river, Jaffaria, Johore.] 



These specimens prove to be absolutely identical with 

 Nilgiri ones. 



*114: bis. — Lyncornis cerviniceps, Gould. 



[Kussoom, Poongah.] 



Davison previously stated that this bird certainly occurred 

 in the northern portions of the region, as he had frequently 

 heard its peculiar call there. We have now obtained numerous 

 specimens, showing that it comes down at least as far south as 

 the 8° N. Lat. 



*233 quat.—Antlireptes simplex, S. Mull. 



[Kussoom.] 



A very rare -bird in the Straits, which does not appear to 

 extend to the south.
