152 THE BIRDS OF THE WESTERN HALF 



specimens of Anthreptes rliodolama, one from Malacca and one 

 fi'om Singapore, I find that both were purchased, and as none 

 of our people have since come across the species anywhere, I 

 begin to doubt whether these also may not have been imported 

 specimens. 



I will now give one list of the 47 species which have to be 

 added to our first list, and another of the 27 species included 

 in the first list, and of which we had then obtained no specimens, 

 but of which we have since procured these, and I will add a 

 few notes on, and necessary corrections to, the first list. 



Species to he added to the List. 



In this list, as in the previous one, the names of species 

 occurring elsewhere within the limits of the Empire are printed 

 in italics, while the names of those which are not yet known to 

 occur anywhere within our limits, except in the Malay Penin- 

 sula, are printed in roman type ; of these it will be seen that 

 there are only six in the present list. 



The great majority of the species we have now to add are, it 

 will be seen, Indian or Indo-Burmese species, which we have 

 obtained in the northern portions only of the Peninsula. 



It is early as yet to attempt any generalization, but we are 

 inclined to believe that just as further north a line drawn some 

 little way south of Tavoy indicates approximately the southern 

 boundary of some, and the northern boundary of a good many 

 other species, here a line drawn somewhere to the north of 

 Keddah near the narrowest portion of the Peninsula indicates 

 also the boundaries north and south, respectively, of a good 

 number of species. 



* 22 his. — Astur rufitinctus, McClell. 



[Kussoom.] 



Kussoom is in the northern portion of the Malay Peninsula, 

 and the place where this specimen (which is a typical rufitinctus) 

 was shot, is not a hundred miles south of Victoria Point, the 

 southernmost point of the main land of Tenasserim. 



* ^Q.—'Choetura indica, Hume. 



[Salang, Tonka Is.J 



This again was obtained in the north at Salang on the 

 Island of Tonka or Junk Ceylon, in 8° N. Lat. Therefore only 

 2^^ south of the southernmost point of the main land of Tenas- 

 serim.
