39. Aplonis panayensis strigatus (Horsf.). 19 
Accidental on Pulau Rumpia. 
40. Motacilla boarula melanope, Pall. 19 
A few are generally to be met with on Pulau Rumpia 
in the winter months. From Pulau Lalang, distant two 
or three miles from P. Rumpia, we have a specimen of 
M. flava simillima, Hartert, shot on 15th October, 1911. 
This species is very rare in the Malay Peninsula. 
41. Cyrtostomus ornatus ornatus (Less.). 2¢ 
Fairly common throughout the year. This is the 
bird hitherto known as Arechnecthra pectoralis (Horsf.). 
XVIII. LIST OF BIRDS COLLECTED ON PULAU 
JARAK, STRAITS OF MALACCA, 
In November, 1919, 
by 
H. C. RoBINSON AND C. BopEN Koss. 
For comparison with the birds collected on Pulau 
Rumpia a collection was also made on Pulau Jarak, 
Straits of Malacca, in November, 1919. Pulau Jarak is 
a small island, about three hundred acres in extent, rising 
steeply from the sea to a height of 600 feet. It is densely” 
covered with vegetation and has no beaches and is 
entirely uninhabited. 
Large numbers of a peculiar rat (Rattus rattus jarak, 
Bonhote) are found on it and a slightly differentiated 
form of a widely spread fruit bat (Pteropus hypomelanus 
fretensis, Kloss). As might be expected the birds 
obtained are not materially different from those on 
Pulau. Rumpia from which island Pulau Jarak is distant 
about 34 miles almost due west, the maximum depth of 
the intervening sea being about 30 fathoms.
