ON A FURTHER COLLECTION OF MAMMALS AND 
BIRDS FROM THE HILLS OF NEGRI SEMBILAN. 
By H.C. ROBINSON, c.m.z.s., M.B.0.U., AND C. BODEN KLOSS, F.z.s., m.B.0.v. 
N a recent number of this Journal one of us has given a list 
of a collection of mammals and birds obtained on the Telapa 
Buroh range in Negri Sembilan, which showed that the Himalaaic 
element, which is the dominant feature of the fauna of the higher 
hills of Pahang, Perak and Selangor, does not extend so far south as 
Negri Sembilan, and this is confirmed by the present series. In 
September, 1913, the Dyak collectors of the Museum were sent 
to collect on Gunong Tampin, in the extreme south of the State, 
which attains a height of 2,507 feet and may be regarded as the 
southern termination of the Peninsular main range, hills of greater 
elevation in Malacca and Johore being quite isolated by wide tracts of 
low-lying country. 
The collection, though not very extensive, contains several species 
of considerable interest, and we have therefore thought it worth while 
to give a list in full as it altogether includes six mammals and 25 
birds not recorded in the two previous papers. * 
The party were camped at about 1,000 feet in heavy jungle, and 
collections were made from that elevation to the summit.
