126 BIRDS FROM PERAK. 
range, which is known as the Larut Range, is more or less 
connected on the North at the watershed of the Pérak River 
with the main range of the peninsula. It is covered with 
dense unbroken forest from base to peaks, without any elevated 
open or grass lands. | | 
‘Besides the birds mentioned in the list, [repeatedly heard. 
the cry of the Argus Pheasant (A. giganteus), and I found 
their dancing-places at about 3,000 to 3,500 feet. I saw also 
examples of three or four species of hornbills and a green- 
headed bee-eater, but was not able to get specimens of them. 
~“ Below 3,000 feet the hill forms become scarce, and the 
‘low-country ones begin to appear. The temperature at 3,300 
feet on the hills ranges from about 56° to 76° in the shade, and 
at the higher stations from 50° to 72°. Judging from the 
records of the past six years, there are no regular seasons in 
Pérak. The rainfall on the Larut hills is from 200 to 250 
‘inches per annum.
