Northern Portion of the Malay Peninsula. 
from Pulau Terutau in M arch, Pulau Karimon and Pulau 
Bintang in the Bhio Archipelago, south of Singapore, in 
August and June, while there is an old mounted specimen 
labelled “ Pahang ” in the Selangor Museum. 
141. Pitta cucullata. 
Pitta cucullata Hartl. ; Sclater, tom. cit. p. 442. 
A single specimen from Trang. 
Like P. cyanoptera this species is common on the small 
islands during the winter, but is also found inland in 
considerable numbers, especially at the base of the lime¬ 
stone hills. 
142. Eucichla boschi. 
Eucichla boschi (Mull. & Schleg.) ; Sclater, tom. cit. 
p. 447. 
Exceedingly common wherever met with, but very local in 
its habits. We have specimens from several localities in 
Trang and from Larut, in Central and Lenggong and Te- 
mengoh in Upper Perak, mostly from the vicinity of limestone 
hills. Ridley records it from the caves of Khota Glanggi on 
the Pahang River. 
143. Eucichla gurneyi. 
Eucichla gurneyi (Hume) ; Sclater, tom. cit. p. 448. 
This most beautiful species was the commonest of the 
genus in Trang, and we secured over thirty specimens 
from several localities in the State. It has not as yet been 
met with in any part of the Peninsula under British 
influence. 
The only other member of the family found in the Pen¬ 
insula is Pitta coccinea Eyton, which we have only come 
across in one locality, viz. Rantau Panjang, in the low-country 
jungle of Central Selangor, where it was not uncommon, as 
we both obtained a pair and saw several others on subsequent 
occasions. The species is probably normally an inhabitant 
of rather swampy jungle, in which our collecting-parties 
have not as yet done much work.
