V. MAMMALS AND BIRDS FROM THE HILLS OF 
NAKON SRI TAMARAT, PENINSULAR SIAM. 
By H. C. Ropinson anp C. BopEN KLoss. 
Something is known of the mountain fauna of Tenas- 
serim where Muleyit, 6,500 ft., and Nwalabu, 5,100 ft., 
have been investigated ; and the mountains of the Federated 
Malay States have been explored with some thoroughness : 
but except for the work done by Dr. W. L. Abbott in Trang 
and by the F.M.S. Museums in Bandon * we know nothing 
of the zoology of the middle longitudinal range of the Malay 
Peninsula, v.e., that running from Bandon to Perlis of which 
Kao Luang, 5861 ft., is the highest peak. A visit to the 
latter had long been part of our programme. 
Mr. H. M. Pendlebury of the F.M.S. Museums Depart- 
ment visited Nakon Sri Tamarat in February, March and 
April, 1922 to collect insects (ante pp. 1—) and took with 
him a mammal and bird collector and Mr. W. J. F. 
Williamson sent a collector from Bangkok. These two 
men made collections on Kao Luang up to its summit 
and also at localities near its foot : we have listed below the 
specimens obtained ; but though the local occurrence of 
a number is of interest, they are not unexpected and had 
all previously been met with in the Peninsula. Only one 
slightly differentiated new form was secured (Phyllergates 
cucullatus thais). Few species occurred on the higher slopes 
that had not already been collected on the less lofty Kao 
Nong: of these the most interesting were Rattus orbus 
Rob. and Kloss, and Cryptolopha youngi Robinson, of which 
two examples were obtained. This fly-catcher was known 
previously from the unique type-specimen.
