7. CHIROPODOMYS GLIROIDES. 
Mus gliroides, Blyth, Journ. Asiat. Soc. Bengal, xxiv, p. 
72% (1855). 
3 Males, 1 Female. 
Of this charming little rodent four individuals were 
obtained which were taken in the hollow internodes of 
bamboos. It was represented in our Museum hitherto by five 
examples only and we had regarded it as a species of rare 
occurrence in our area, but this scarcity in collections is 
possibly rather due to reasons of habitat and habit. 
Q. TUPAIA GLIS WILKINSONI. 
Tupaia ferruginea wilkinsont, Robinson and Kloss, Journ 
F.M.S.Mus, iv, p. 173 (1911). 
1 Male, r Female. 
These are rather dull coloured examples of this subspecies, 
the rump showing very little ferruginous tint; thus approa- 
ching, in its little-varied upper surface, the northern species 
T. belangeit. 
10. HYLOMYS SUILLUS. 
Hylomys suillus, Mull. and Schleg., Verbandelingen p. 
153 (1839-44) pl. 25, figs. 4-7, pl. 26, fig. 1. 
Though generally included as a member of our fauna this 
species seems to have been first definitely recorded from the 
Peninsula by Robinson whose collectors obtained an individual 
from the mountains of Selangor in 1g1o [Journ. F.M.S. Mus. 
IV. p. 223 (1911)}. Several examples have since been 
captured in Perlis, the state north of Kedah, and now we have 
these two examples from Kedah Peak. We have compared 
them with animals from Sumatra (type region) and can 
discover no differences. 
Tl: BURDS: 
We are aware of no paper dealing exclusively with the 
avifauna of the State of Kedah, nor indeed to our knowledge 
have any but very inconsiderable collections been made therein. 
A few species obtained by Cantor are mentioned by Moore in his 
“List of Malayan Birds collected by Theodore Cantor, M.D.,” 
P. Z. S. 1854, pp. 258-285; 1859 pp. 443-468, while others 
obtained by the ‘‘Skeat Expedition’’ in 1899 are listed by 
Bonhote, P. Z. S. 1901 (i) pp. 57-81. To the east the avifauna 
of the Patani States 1s well known, that of Province Wellesley, 
Penang and Perak to the South and South-east has been 
thoroughly worked out, while to the north considerable col- 
lections have been obtained from the small boundary state of 
Perlis by the collectors of the Federated Malay States Museum, 
which disclose nothing of special interest. 
To the north-east the fauna of Senggora is known from 
collections obtained by the ‘‘Skeat Expedition,” which dis- 
close no material difference between it and Patani and Jalor,
