and two or three bats, though no Pteropus has as yet been ob- 
tained. The Duyong is occasionally found in one or two of 
the bays. 
Among reptiles Python, Dryophts, a species of Dipsadomor- 
phus, two species of Draco, Calotes cristatellus, Mabuia multt- 
fasciata, Lygosoma olivaceum, Lygosoma scotophilum and two 
species of Hemidactylus have been met with. 
Lepidoptera on all our visits were scarce and of no special 
interest. 
The island has been visited by us on several occasions 
during the last fifteen years for periods varying from a few 
hours to four or five days and the following species of birds 
have been collected on it; I have not attempted to emulate 
Dr. H. C. Oberholser and provide the birds each with a 
separate subspecific name and indeed can distinguish few 
if any differences between the specimens from the islands 
and those from the adjacent mainland. 
No list of the birds has hitherto been published. 
1. Osmotreron vernans (Linn.) 
2. Carpophaga aenea (Linn.) 
3. Myristicivora bicolor (Scop.) 
All three species extremely common. 
4. Chalcophaps indica (Linn.) 
Fairly numerous on the higher ground. 
5. Caloenas nicobarica (Linn.) 
Not common and hard to obtain. 
6. Sterna bergii pelecanoides, King. 
Common round the island. 
7. Sterna melanauchen melanauchen, Temm. 
Also common and breeding on adjacent rocky islands in 
June, July and August (Plate VI, lower figure pourtrays one 
breeding station between the two islands of the Sri Buat 
Group.) 
8. Sterna anaetheta anaetheta, Scop. 
Very common, breeding in enormous numbers on many 
of the adjacent rocks, especially on Tokong Burong, between 
Sri Buat and Tioman. 
9. Aegialitis alexandrina peroni (Bp.) 
antea, p. 139. 
A breeding pair shot on June 2Ist, 1915. 
We have dealt with this species or race at length else- 
where ; it 1s fairly common in the summer months throughout 
the Johore- Pahang archipelago.
