[ The publication of this paper has been much postponed by 

 printing difficulties. The wliole of it was completed in 1921, but 

 the delay has enabled us to include the localities of a collection of 

 birds obtained in Nakon Sri Tamarat in the early months of 1922 

 (for a nominal list oi' the species, vide Journal of the Federated 

 Mala}^ States Museums, xi, April 1923, part 1, pp. 58-63) and to o-ive 

 references to a few recent publications ].
