BIRDS OF THE LARUT HILLS. 21 
67. Motacilla melanope, (Pall.) 
The Grey Wagtail. Common about roads, streams, clear- 
ings, etc., at all elevations. Had not left by middle of April. 
68. Anthus rufulus malayensis. 
The Malay Pipit. Should not perhaps be included in this 
list. I mention it as there was one specimen in my collection, 
but it was shot at the foot of the hills and not on them. (1.) 
69. Anthus maculatus. (Hodgs.) 
The Indian Tree Pipit. The only Pipit met with on the 
hills’ A party of a dozen or so frequented the Maxwell’s 
bungalow clearing throughout March and beginning of April. 
1 never saw them settle on a tree when disturbed. Probably 
their habits are more arboreal in the breeding season than at 
other times. (1.) 
70. Aithopyga wrayi. (Sharpe.) 
Wray’s Honeysucker. These beautiful little birds are com- 
mon at 3,500 feet and upwards. The Scarlet Hibiscus flowers in 
the gardens on the hill are a great attraction to them. They 
visit these principally in the hottest part of tbe day—for an 
hour or two after noon. I may mention that I recently obtained 
the bird again on the summit of Bukit Kutu, Selangor, 3,300 
feet. It has, I believe, hitherto only been obtained on the Perak 
hills. It will probably prove to occur throughout the Peninsula 
where the mountains rise to over 3,000 feet. Mr. Wray, writ- 
ing to Dr. Sharpe says, “ There is another specie; of Honey- 
sucker, but I was not able to get a specimen ofit.” I kept a 
sharp look out for this, but saw no other species on these hills. 
Since then, however, I have twice shot, on Bukit Kutu and at 
Ginting Bedei, a lovely scarlet Honeysucker with brilliant violet 
moustachial stripes, and a sort of coronet of the same colour, 
formed by two lines running from the nostrils and encircling 
the crown. From want of books of reference I have had to 
send it home for identification, and have not yet heard about it. 
Possibly this was the other Honeysucker seen by Mr. Wray. (5.) 
71. Arachnothera magna. (Hodgs.) 
Common between 3,500 and 4,000 feet; I saw one or two as
