Boclen Kloss, of the Selangor Museum, Federated Malay States, and as he was able to remain on in the country for several weeks after I had left, was the means of adding many valuable specimens to my collection. The famous Plateau had long attracted us, as zoologically it was almost unknown ; and as, owing to the war, we were unable to obtain home leave, of which we were badly in need, Ave decided to take advantage of a short holiday and visit this region. The enterprise of the French Government, too, in building a sana-torium at a high elevation, and in constructing fine roads up to it, rendered the plateau easily accessible, so that little time was wasted in travelling. Our expectations of rich material were fully justified. The report on the birds by Messrs. Robinson and Kloss has already appeared in 'The Ibis ' (July 1919), and a good account of the general conditions on the plateau has been given there by Mr. Kloss. It is unnecessary for me to repeat his remarks here, but for convenience I have recapitulated the camps at which collections were made. Starting from the sea-coast at Tour Cham, we gradually made our way up into the hills, our final camp being underneath the Langbian pea.ks at 2000 metres elevation. I was accompanied by two trained native assistants. Altogether about 700 specimens were obtained. Many more of the common
