 E.), Loei Province, Thailand. January 7, 1955. Collected by Robert 

 E. Elbel. Original number RE 4399. U.S. Operations Mission to

 Cyanops incognita euroa Deignan 



Journ. Washington Acad. Sci. 29(4) : 177, April 15, 1939. 

 =Megalaima incognita euroa (Deignan). See Peters, Checklist of birds 



of the world 6: 37, 1948. 

 337073. Adult male. Khao Sa Bap (lat. 12°35' N., long. 102^15' E.), 

 Chanthaburi Province, southeastern Siam. April 28, 1937. Collected 

 by Herbert G. Deignan. Original number 2597. 

 Bucco rubritorquis Peale 



U.S. Exploring Expedition 8 (Mamm. and Orn.) : 133, "pi. xxxvi, fig. 

 2," 1848. 

 =Megalaima armillaris henricii (Temminck). See Riley, U.S. Nat. Mus. 



Bull. 172: 206, 1938; Ripley, Auk 62: 552, 555, 1945. 

 14191. Adult (sex not indicated). Singapore Island, Malaya. Original 



number 374. U.S. Exploring Expedition ( 1838-1842 ) . 

 14194. Adult (sex not indicated). Same data as No. 14191. 

 Peale mentioned that he had five specimens of this form, which "do not 

 vary in plumage," but there are seven entries for the species in the museum 

 register, and Cassin's MS. list indicates that he saw seven. 



Nos. 14195 and 14197 were sent to the Chicago Academy of Sciences in 

 1870, while No. 14200 was sent to the same place on January 28, 1881 ; the 

 first two must have been destroyed in the Great Fire, Nos. 14192 and 14198 

 are unaccounted for in our records, but must represent the two cotypes now 

 in the Museum of Comparative Zoology, v»?here they are Nos. 75768 and 

 75769. 



It is very probable that the birds of the Asiatic mainland must be 

 separated from those of Sumatra (henricii). The apparent differences 

 have been pointed out by Riley {loc. cit.), who has erred, however, in stat- 

 ing that Peal's name would be available for them, since Hartlaub's 

 nialaccensis antedates it by six years. 

 Cyanops australis invisa Deignan 

 Auk 58 (3): 398, July 9, 1941. 

 =Megalaima australis cyanotis (Blyth). See Peters, Checklist of birds 



of the world 6: 38, 1948. 

 336982. Adult male. Pang Makham Phong, a campsite near the head of 

 the river Mae Fang and beneath the limestone hill Doi Pha Sakaeng (at 

 about lat. 19°35' N., long. 99^06' E.), Chiang Mai (or Chiang Rai) 

 Province, northwestern Siam. December 29, 1936. Collected by 

 Herbert G. Deignan. Original number 2141.
