buted but commoner on the bills than in the plains. 
214. Copsychus MUSICUS. 
Copsychus musicus (Raffles); Robinson, p. 208. 
Copsychus saularis (partim) Sharpe, Cat. Birds B. M. vii. 
p. 61. 
Though it occurs in Trang, the Dial-bird, or Straits Robin, 
is much rarer than in Selangor, where it is the commonest 
and most familiar of garden birds. 
It was met with, though sparingly, on the Langkawi 
Islands. 
215. ClTTOCINCLA MACRURA. 
Cittocincla tricolor (Vieill.); Sharpe, tom. cit. p. 85. 
Cittocincla macrura (Gm.); Robinson, p. 208. 
Common, both at Trang and on the Langkawis. 
The Shama is another of the Malayan birds that is espe¬ 
cially numerous on the outlying islands, probably because 
they afford the rocky jungle-covered hill-sides that the bird 
generally frequents. On Pulau Tioman, off the east coast of 
the Peninsula, it is so numerous as to be almost the 
dominant species. 
Sylviid^:. 
216. Phylloscopus tenellipes. 
Phylloscopus tenellipes Swinh.; Seebohm, Cat. Birds 
B. M. v. p. 46 (1881). 
Acanthopneuste tenellipes Oates, Faun. Brit. Ind., Birds, i. 
p. 416 (1889). 
Two specimens of a Pale-legged Willow-Warbler obtained 
at Chong and on the hills above it agree perfectly with the 
series of this species in the British Museum from Tenasserim 
and China. The present locality is the most southerly 
recorded for the species. 
217. Phylloscopus borealis. 
Phylloscopus borealis (Bias.); Seebohm, tom. cit. p. 40. 
Acanthopneuste borealis Oates, tom. cit. p. 412. 
Four or five specimens were obtained. The species is the 
most generally distributed of the genus in the Malay Penin¬ 
sula, but they are all rare except in the extreme north.
