BIRDS OF THE LARUT HILLS. 11 
sub-species the trinomials are there used for the sake of 
accuracy. 
Three species new to science are included in this list, and 
their descriptions quoted: other birds are recorded from the 
mountains of the Peninsula for the first time. 
Glancing through the list one is struck by the fact that 
over ninety genera are represented by the 113 species given. 
The whole of the birds that I obtained are now in the 
Hon’ble. Walter Rothschild’s magnificent collection at Tring. 
1. Rhinocichla mitrata (S. Miill). 
Very common above 3500 feet, feeding in noisy par- 
ties. (3) 
2. Trochalopterum peninsulae. Sharpe. 
Wray’s Laughing Thrush. Only one obtained between 
The Hut and The Cottage, 4000 feet. (1) 
3. Pomatorhinus wrayi. - Sharpe. 
Wray’s Scimitar Babbler. Common at about 4000 feet 
generally in parties, which like others of the genus keep up 
a loud liquid call note. A very skulking bird, and not easy 
to procure. I failed to find the only one I shot. 
4. Gampsorhynchus saturation. Sharpe. 
The Perak Ring-necked Shrike-babbler. Sharpe described 
this species from a specimen obtained by Mr. L. Wray on 
Gunong Batu Puteh, but Mr. Blanford does not consider it 
entitled to specific distinction (Fauna of India, Birds, I. p. 
137). Hence I was particularly anxious to obtain specimens 
for comparison; but though I saw what must have been this 
bird once at 3500 feet, I failed to shoot it. 
5. Corythocichla leucosticta. Sharpe. 
Wray’s Spotted Babbler. Not uncommon above 3000 feet ; 
met with in small foraging parties hopping about on or near the 
ground among rocks and undergrowth. (3)
