(1892). 
Mz. Seimund shot a female at Kamunting, near Taiping, Perak, 
on 5th November, 1911, which is the most southerly record for the 
species and the only record for the Federated Malay States. In the 
same month our collectors found it common at Padang Sireh, on the 
Perlis-Senggora border. 
BATRACHOSTOMUS AFFINIS, Brytu. 
Batrachostomus affinis, Blyth; Hartert, Cat. Birds Brit. Mus., 
xvi., p. 643 (1892). 
Though skins of the three local species of Frogmouths appear to 
have occured fairly frequently in the old Malacca collections, the 
more recent collectors do not seem to come across them often, and I 
have not myself examined more than ten or twelve specimens in the 
flesh or in recent skins. 
Our collectors obtained a single female of this species at Parit, on 
the Perak river, on 14th September, 1911. It was with the succeeding 
species shot at dusk on the edge of a patch of swampy jungle. 
BATRACHOSTOMUS STELLATUS (GounLD). 
Batrachostomus stellatus (Gould) ; Hartert, Cat. Birds Brit. Mus., 
xvi., p. 639 (1892). 
A single female was shot in the same locality as the preceding 
on 17th September, 1911. 
CHATURA INDICA, Hume. 
Chetura indica, Hume; Hartert, Cat. Birds Brit. Mus., xvi., 
p. 475 (1892). 
A male of this form was shot by Mr. J. M. Gray at Simpang, 
near Taiping, Perak, on 17th December, 1911. Another was shot by 
Mr. C. Burn-Murdoch at Kajang, Selangor, on 26th November, 1912, 
in mistake for a snipe. The few specimens of this species on record 
from ‘the Peninsula have all been obtained in the winter months 
while Ch. gigantea is resident throughout the year. 
INDICATOR ARCHIPELAGICUS, Tru. 
Indicator archipelagicus, Temm; Shelley, Cat. Birds Brit. Mus., 
xix., p. 4 (1891); Robinson and Kloss, Ibis, 1911, p. 44. 
Owing toa very dry season and the consequent profuse flowering 
of the nerwm trees (Dipterocarpus erinitus) the Tahan river and the 
lower slopes of the mountain were in July, 1911, invested with 
incredible multitudes of bees which made life a burden during the 
daytime. Perhaps asa corollary we secured two specimens of the 
Malayan Honey Guide, both males, with the yellow shoulder spot well 
developed. In the previous eight years’ collecting we have only 
obtamed two other specimens.
