1917.) H.C. Rosprinson: Birds from Pulau Langkawi. 135 
During our stay from January g-12th, a very strong 
easterly wind, which only dropped for a few hours in the early 
morning, forced us to lie under the lee of a small island, Pulau 
Depok, some three miles distant from the settlement, and on 
several occasions we were nearly swamped in getting to and 
leaving the main island. 
We obtained a large series of mammals including a lotong 
and a kra, a mousedeer, musang and tangelin, and rats and 
squirrels of several species. 
Such birds as were obtained show that the fauna is of 
mainland rather than insular facies as the occurrence of such 
genera as Calorhamphus and Plyllornis indicates. Peafowl are 
said to occur though we did not obtain any, Buffalo, both feral 
and domesticated are common, and tiger are occasionally met 
with while serow (Nemorrhoedus) are abundant on a limestone 
island between Pulau Lontar and the shore. The main island 
appears to have but little limestone on it while Pulau Depok, 
near which we were anchored, was of sandstone, but many 
islets in the vicinity, especially to the NE., were of the 
characteristic limestone formation.

“Tris dull blue, inner ring pink, orbits verditer 
green, bill yellow, the base crimson, feet crimson.” 
Fairly common both on this island, Langkawi and 
Terutau, though these latter specimens as also birds from 
Trang, are decidedly nearer the typical T. curvirostra 
curvtrostra from Sumatra.
