The region about Surulangun is one of great interest, as it lies on the borders of that little-known forest stretching towards Kedjang and Djambi. Among the birds found here I obtained the Fcdxornis longicauda, with its metallic-green crown, pink head and black-ringed neck, one of the most chastely-coloured of the parrots.

In a tree near to that occupied by the parrots a species of bee-eater (Merops sumatranus) flocked in such thousands that as they congregated in the evenings they seemed like swarms of bees, and the hum of their wings could be heard a long way off. By the roads here were some magnificent fig-trees and Diptero- carpese. In the low forest a common species of the Ginger.
