Treron nipalensis (Hodgs.); Salvad. tom. cit. p. 3d ; 
R ,binson, p. 169. 
Fairly common everywhere, though less so than Osmo - 
treron vernans and O. olaoo, and not forming flights to the 
same extent as those species. Numerous in Trang and 
also in Terutau. 
-p 6. OSMOTRERON BICINCTA. 
Osmotreron hicincta (Jerd.) ; Salvad. tom. cit. p 57. 
Exceedingly rare in the Peninsula, though sporadically 
distributed, being recorded from Saianga (Tongkah), Kuala 
Selangor, and Malacca. In Trang a single specimeu was 
obtained by our collectors. 
The single bird we ourselves obtained was shot out of a 
flock of (). vernans at Kuala Selangor on the Selangor coast 
in December 1904. 
~f- 7. Osmotreron vernans. 
Osmotreron vernans (Linn.) ; Salvad. tom. cit. p. 60. 
This, the commonest Green Pigeon in the Peninsula, is 
found everywhere throughout the country except in thick 
jungle and on the mountains.

Myristicivora bicolor (Scop.) ; Salvad. tom. cit. p. 22 7. 
The White Nutmeg-Pigeon, the rawa of the Malays, like 
the other species of the genus, is rarely found except on 
small islands or among the mangroves in the immediate 
vicinity of the coast. On the small islands in the Straits of 
Malacca, notably Pulau Jarak, and on others on the east 
coast of Pahang, it is extremely common and affords very 
good sport, though for the table the bird is usually tough 
and tasteless. It was met with, though sparingly, on some 
of the outlying islands of the Langkawi group in February 
1909.
