Rubigula webberi (Hume) ; Sharpe, tom. cit. p. 171 ; 
Robinson, p. 196. 
Fairly common at Trang. 
In the paper quoted above we stated that we had only seen 
one specimen o£ this species from the Western Federated 
Malay States, but before the paper had been actually issued 
we had obtained some dozens of the species from two 
widely separated localities, Temengoh in Upper Perak and 
Ulu Gombak in Selangor, at altitudes of about 1000-1500 
feet. The species is exceedingly fond of the fruit of certain 
figs, and when such a tree hearing ripe fruit is discovered 
any number of the birds can be obtained. 
Timeliim.

By no means common, only three or four specimens having 
been obtained ; replaced by P. wrayi Sharpe in the moun¬ 
tains of the central and southern portion of the Peninsula, 
and by P. borneensis Cab. in the lowlands.

Very common among brushwood and low secondary jungle 
near the ground, and also met with in the Langkawi Archi¬

fairly numerous near that town ; the most southerly locality 
known is Slim in Southern Perak.
