1005. Calorhampiius nayi.— The Brown Bavbet. (Mai.) 

 Probably common, though I only saw a few specimens. 



1087. Macropteryx longipennis. — The Malayan Crested Swift. 

 Procured by a friend in Johore. 



1088. Mac. comata.— The Tufted Tree-Swift. 

 Also procured by a friend in Johore. 



1124. Rhopodytes diardi. — Diard's Green-billed Malkoha. (Mai.) 

 Common in wooded districts. 



1127. Rhamphococcyx erythrognathus. (Mai.) 

 Also common in wooded districts. 



1128. Rhinortua chloroph^ea. — Raffles's Green-billed Malkoha. (Mai.) 

 As above. 



1269. Microhierax fringillarius. — The Black-legged Falconet. (Mai.) 

 This tiny falconet is common in wooded districts ; it is generally seen 

 perched on the topmost twigs of some dry tree or branch, from whence it 

 pounces upon its prey — beetles, &c. 



1281. Treron nepalensis. — The Thick-billed Green Pigeon. (Joh.) 

 Quite common. 



1327 bis. Polyplectrum bicalcratum. — The Peacock Pheasant. (Mai.) 

 I only secured one specimen, a hen, which was bought from a Chinese 

 fowl-seller and given to me ; it had presumably been lately caught and was 

 evidently injured, for it died a few minutes after changing hands. 



1328. Gallus ferrugineus. — The Red Jungle Fowl. (Mai.) 

 Plentiful in the jungles, but difficult to get at. I have no doubt the bird 

 was found on Singapore island in former days, but owing to the ruthless 

 manner in which every species of furred or feathered game was and is 

 slaughtered, it is many years since the last " Ayam hitam " disappeared off the 

 island. 



B. M. Cat. IV. — Graucalus sumatrensis. (Joh.) 

 Presented to me by a friend. 



B. M. Cat. XIX. — Messbucco duvauceli. (Mai.) 

 I only procured one specimen, a young male. The length of the rictal bristles 

 in this species is remarkable.
