Northern Portion of the Malay Peninsula. 
the hills. They obtained a considerable number of birds, 
but devoted themselves chiefly to mammals, of which they 
procured some very interesting specimens, including a new 
and very large species of Hog Badger ( Arctonyoc dictator ), 
a white Leaf-Monhey, and a large series of a stump-tailed 
Macaque, which will not improbably prove to be new to 
science. 
In conclusion, we must express our gratitude to the 
Siamese authorities, both in Bangkok and Trang, for permis¬ 
sion to collect, and for facilities in the way of transport and 
permission to use the Government rest-houses, and more 
especially to the Governor of Trang and the District Officer 
of Chong. 
Our thanks are also due to H.E. Sir John Anderson, 
G.C.M.G., High Commissioner of the Federated Malay 
States, who kindly obtained for us the requisite permission, 
from the Siamese authorities, and to Sir William Taylor, 
K.C.M.G., Resident General, Federated Malay States, and 
Mr. E. W. Birch, C.M.G., Resident of Perak, for permission 
to travel outside the limits of our respective districts.

This Jungle-Partridge is extremely rare in collections, and 
a female from Lam-ra, in the interior of Trang, is the only 
specimen that appears to have been obtained in the Peninsula 
during the last twenty-five years, with the exception of some 
collected by Dr. Abbott, also in Trang, which are now in the 
United States National Museum. 
Practically nothing is known of the habits of the bird, 
except that it is an inhabitant of low-country jungle. It is 
evidently commoner in South Tenasserim and the north of 
the Malay Peninsula than it is in the south, as there are no 
examples of the species in the museums of Taiping, Kuala 
Lumpur, and Singapore.
