Botli sexes from Bunguvan. 



Wings 126 to 13n mm., wliile iti Teiiasserim specimens they are 1:38 or more. 

 A female from Palawan before me has the wing 140 mm., thns being of the size of 

 the birds from Tenasserim and India. There seem to be two races, a large and a 

 small one. Reaching fi'om tlie Eastern Himala\'as to Snmatra and Borneo.

They are all rather dark grey on the hind neck, and have a delicately greyish 

 breast. The tail is dark and rather bluish. Frontal band, chin, and narrow ring 

 round eyes very conspicuonsly white. In colour all these specimens seem best to 

 agree with a bird from Palawan (collected by Dr. Platen, subspec. palawane/isi-i 

 Bias.), but tiie wing is shorter, that of tlie Piilawan bird measuring 2.3 cm., that of 

 our Bunguran specimens 23 to 23'5 cm. Mindanao specimens (chalybura Bp.) are 

 lighter on the hind neck and have the tail more greyish and greenish. (See Salvad.,
