With very few exceptions the birds with which this paper 
deals were all obtained on the western side of the Malay 
Peninsula, southwards from the State of Trang, to the mouth 
of the Kedah River in the State of the same name, about 
thirty miles north of Penang, and including the islands of 
Pulau Langkawi and Terutau about seventy-five miles north 
of Penang and seven or eight miles west of the peninsular 
coast. We have given a brief account of the general 
characters of each collecting-station, which may be of 
interest as explaining the type of fauna met with, and have 
added the dates at which we visited each station, the season 
in the north of the peninsula being a much more important 
factor in the distribution of the bird-population than it 
appears to be in the central and southern sections. 
As many of the places mentioned are hardly to be found 
on any ordinary atlas, the Editors have kindly allowed us to 
supply an outline map of the Peninsula (text-fig. 6, p. 663), 
indicating the majority of the States and the general natural 
and political features of the country, the latter of which have 
been much modified by the Anglo-Siamese treaty of 1909. 
Starting from the south the first locality from which we 
have obtained specimens dealt with in the present paper is 
Kuala Kedah , the mouth of the Kedah River, the word 
“ Kuala” being the Malay for the mouth of a river or, 
equally, for the confluence of tvro streams. 
This locality was visited by Mr. Seimund and myself
