175. Micropus melanocephalus. 
Microtarsus melanocephalus (Gm.) ; Sharpe, tom. cit. p. 65. 
Swarming in the gardens at Chong on almost every tree, 
and very common throughout the Peninsula in suitable 
localities. 
176. Criniger tephrogenys. 
Criniger tephrogenys (Jard. & Selby) ; Sharpe, torn, cit. 
p. 71 (footnote) ; Robinson, p. 194. 
Fairly numerous, more so than the next species. 
177. Criniger sordidus. 
Criniger sordidus Richmond, Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus. xxii. 
p. 320 (1900). 
Criniger ochraceus (partim) Robinson, p. 195. 
This species, originally described from Trang, can perhaps 
be differentiated from C. ochraceus of more southern localities 
by its browner ear-coverts and by having the white of the

Langkawi as well as from Trang, and have examined one of 
Richmond’s typical series, which is now in the Selangor 
Museum. 
178. Alophoixus ph^eocephalus. 
Alophoixusphaeocephalus (Hartl.); Oates, Faun. Brit. Ind., 
Birds, i. p. 259 (1889) ; Robinson, p. 195. 
Criniger phaeocephalus (Hartl.) ; Sharpe, tom. cit. p. 74. 
179. Tricholestes criniger. 
Tricholestes criniger (Blyth); Sharpe, tom. cit. p. 89; 
Robinson, p. 195. 
Both these species are poorly represented in our Trang 
Collection, and are probably rare in the State. 
180. Pycnonotus analis. 
Pycnonotus analis (Horsf.); Sharpe, tom. cit. p. 140. 
In the south of the Peninsula this is the commonest 
garden bird next to Copsychus musicus , while Otocompsa 
emeria is almost unknown. In the north the position is quite
