SO BIRDS OF THE LARUT HILLS. 
A few of these fine Pigeons were seen, generally passing 
over at a great height. I shot one specimen at 3500 feet. (1.) 
111. Chalcophaps indica. (Linn.) 
The Bronze-winged Dove. 
Heard and seen up to 3,500 feet. 
112. A/acropygia ruficeps. (Temm.) 
The Little Malay Cuckoo-Dove. 
Fairly common from 2,000 to 4,000 feet. I shot several 
Specimens, most of which were rather knocked about and were 
handed over to the cook. Mr. Wray notes Cuckoo-Doves as 
rare on these hills, and Sharpe wrote of the only specimen that 
Mr. Wray sent him that it appeared to be J. tusalia. Mine 
were all M. ruficeps. (1.) 
113. Argusianus argus. (Linn.) 
Tbe Argus Pheasant. 
Heard frequently up to 2,500 feet, but as usual, not seen. 
(1—trapped.) 
This completes the list of species identified during my two 
months on the Larut Hills. I met with two other birds which I 
have left out of the above list, not knowing where to insert them. 
One was a dark grey Thrush-like bird which | obtained a 
glimpse of only in thick jungle at 3,500 feet, and which may 
perhaps have been WMelanocichla peninsularis (Sharpe.) The 
other was a small robin-like brown bird, with a good deal of 
white on the bases of the tail-feathers. I found this bird one 
morning in the same trap which caught one of the specimens 
of Digenea maiayana as mentioned above. Elevation 4,000 feet. 
I accidentally omitted to send it to Tring with the rest of my 
collections, and though I did so subsequently I have not yet 
received the identification.
