Ill. BIRDS. 
By H. C. ROBINSON, c.m.z.s., M.B.0.U. 
The main object of our visit to the ‘group was the acquisition of 
large series of the local mammals and we did not therefore attempt 
to collect many individual specimens of birds, though an example of 
every species seen was, if possible, obtained. 
As is the case with all the islands off the east coast of the Malay 
Peninsula the ornis presents few features of interest and after allow- 
ing for varying circumstances, such as the degree of deafforestment, 
and the existence or otherwise of paddy land, is identical in all the 
islands. In all, certain birds such as Cittocincla macrura, Eulabes sp. 
and Calornis chalybea are very common while certain groups such as 
the Woodpeckers, Barbets, Trogons and Timeliids are either rare or 
entirely absent. The present islands differ from Pulau Tioman and 
Tinggi further south in possessing two species of game bird, Twrnizx 
taigoor and Gallus gallus; but the latter, of which we did not obtain 
specimens, has possibly merely been introduced by the Siamese 
population the local domestic breed being extraordinarily close to 
the wild bird. Hornbills, Dichoceros bicornis, also were common on 
the hills, but these as well as Alcedo meninting and Accipiter qularis 
were only noted though they were seen more than once. The
