The collection includes three Peacocks from the interior 
of Trang. 
The distribution of the Peacock in the Malay Peninsula 
is very curious. In suitable localities it appears to be 
common on both sides of the northern portion of the Malay 
Peninsula as far south as Kedah on the coast of the west 
side, and to extend down the Perak River nearly as far as 
Kuala Kangsar, the native capital of the State of Perak. 
With the exception of one dubious record from the borders 
of Selangor and the Negri Sembilan, it is not known with 
certainty from any other portion of the western slope of the 
Peninsula, for we regard the locality “ Malacca 33 attached 
to specimens in the British Museum as entirely indefinite. 
On the eastern side the Peacock extends farther south, and 
is known with certainty throughout Pahang, and probably 
occurs in North-eastern Johor in the Endau River basin. 
In the Malay Peninsula these birds are not particularly 
shy, for they are hardly ever interfered with. Their favourite 
haunts are the courses of the larger rivers, and in the early 
morning they are often to be seen on the sand-banks of the 
Pahang River, while they lie up for the heat of the day in the 
thick vegetation that borders its banks and roost at night in 
the lofty trees.

Jungle-fowl were evidently fairly common in Trang on 
the little jungle-clad hills rising from the rice-fields, whence 
our men obtained several specimens. Most of the southern 
Malayan Jungle-fowl have the lower half of the ear-lappet 
whitish, but in these specimens the lappet is entirely red.
