[On a new Species of Cyornis from the Mountains of the Malay 
Peninsula. By II. C. Bobinson. Journ. Fed. Malay States Mus. vol. ii. 
p. 163 (1909).] 
Cyornis peninsularis, described as new in this paper, is 
allied to C. oatesi and C. vivida, but is considerably smaller. 
A male and female were obtained in November 1908 at 
Telom, on the boundary between Perak and Pahang. Malay 
States. 
22. Robinson on the Mountain-birds of the Malay 
Peninsula. 
[The Birds at present known from the Mountains of the Malay Pen¬ 
insula. By Herbert C. Bobinson. Journ. Fed. Malay States Mus. 
vol. ii. No. 4, p. 164.] 
The energetic Director of the Museums of the Federated 
Malay States now gives us a list of the birds found in the 
central mountain-zone of the peninsula, where many inter¬ 
esting discoveries have been lately made. His list is based 
mainly on the very large amount of material now in the 
Selangor Museum, which, after the elimination of duplicates, 
contains over 3000 specimens of Malay birds. 
Mr. Bobinson commences his article with a short descrip¬ 
tion of the various mountains of the Malay Peninsula which 
have been explored—twelve in all. Although the localities 
of these ranges are indicated and their approximate heights, 
which in one case (Gunong Tahang) exceeds 7000 feet, are 
stated, it would have been better to have added an outline- 
map shewing their exact positions, as many of them are 
not marked in ordinary atlases. Next follow the titles 
of the papers previously published on this subject, which 
are ten in number. We then come to the List of the 
Species of the mountains of the Malay Peninsula above 
the height of 2300 feet, altogether 242 in number, which, 
with very few exceptions, are represented in the Selangor 
collection by recently collected specimens of undoubted 
authenticity.
