The occurrence of this rare martin, which breeds in 
Japan and has been met with on migration in Borneo 
whence it was originally described, is rather surprising. 
The single specimen appears perfectly typical. 
XVII. A LIST OF BIRDS COLLECTED ON PULAU 
RUMPIA, SEMBILAN ISLANDS, 
In November and December, 1918 
by 
H. C. Rosinson anp C. Bopzen Koss. 
The following list of birds collected by Mr. E. Seimund 
on Pulau Rumpia, one of the Sembilan Islands off the 
mouth of the Perak River, in November and December, 
1918 is of interest as bearing on migration and migra- 
tion routes in the Malayan region, regarding which we 
have as yet very little exact knowledge. 
One bird, new to the Fauna of the Malay Peninsula, 
was obtained: 
Oreocincla dauma (Lath.) 
Pulau Rumpia is a rocky island rising to a height 
of about 600 feet and of very uneven surface. In extent 
it is perhaps 1,500 or 2,000 acres and is densely forested. 
There are two or three small bays with sandy beaches 
of no great extent. It is the largest of the Sembilan Group 
and is separated from the other islands and from 
the mainland by depths approximating to twenty-five 
fathoms. 
Except during the migration season the bird popula- 
tion is small, being confined to a few nutmes-pigeon, 
crows, sunbirds and an occasional kingfisher, excluding of 
course the usual shore and marine birds.
