REPORT ON THE BIRDS 



By W. R. OGILVIE-GRANT 



BRITISH MUSEUM (NATURAL HISTORY), CROMWELL ROAD, LONDON 



DURING their recent expedition to the Siamese Malay States and Perak 

 Messrs. H. C. Robinson and Nelson Annandale made a large 

 collection of birds, which they have kindly placed in my hands for 

 identification. Below will be found a complete list with notes. One species 

 of Bulbul (Pycnonotus robinsoni) appears to be new. A female Green Weaver-finch 

 of the genus Chlorura may likewise represent a distinct form near C. borneensis, 

 but until the arrival of male examples I have refrained from naming it. The 

 first set of this fine collection has been presented to the British Museum, the 

 remaining specimens being given to the Royal Scottish Museum, Edinburgh. 

 To save repetition, Mr. J. L. Bonhote's report 4 On the Birds collected during 

 the Skeat Expedition to the Malay Peninsula ' {P.Z.S., 1901, pp. 57-81) is 

 quoted as ' Bonhote.' Mr. E. Hartert's article * On Birds from Pahang, 

 Eastern Malay Peninsula' {Nov. Zool. ix, pp. 537-580 (1902) ) is quoted as 

 1 Hartert.'

The Slender-billed Crow has the iris brown, and the bill and feet black. 

 The Museum possesses only two examples from the Malay Peninsula, procured 

 respectively at Johore and Malacca. 



1 The above locality is situated in deep jungle many miles from any 

 considerable extent of open country, and I find that the individual secured is 

 recorded in my journal as having a much more subdued and less raucous 

 " caw " than the succeeding species.'
