38 Messrs. Robinson and Kloss on Birds from the 
or three days in December, hawking after termites, which 
were flighting at the time. 
Caprimulgus jotaka is a migrant, and, except possibly at 
high elevations, only occurs on the Peninsula from October 
to March ; but C. ambiguus is resident throughout the year, 
though much less abundant during these months. 
The former species is very common on the islands in the 
Straits of Malacca, especially those of the Langkawi group.

Pour specimens were shot at Chong with the preceding. 
With the exception of a specimen, now in the Selangor 
Museum labelled “ Penang,” without other particulars, this
