THE BIRDS OF NORTHERN THAILAND 5 



These scattered records show that the collector visited the Muang 

 Song forest in April 1916; Doi Nga Chang (Doi Khun Tan) in Feb- 

 ruary 1917 ; Chiang Mai in June 1917 ; and Muang Wang in Septem- 

 ber, October, and November 1917. Doubtless many other northern 

 localities are represented in the collection, which, in 1939, was stored 

 at the British Museum (Natural History) and will probably eventu- 

 ally be incorporated into the museum's series. One of Sir Walter's 

 specimens was taken October 4, 1915, at Mae Mo by E. W. Trotter. 



Kenneth G. Gairdner collected on Doi Suthep, March 31, 1919, 

 the first Thai specimen of Syrmaticus humiae ~biirmanni<MS and, later 

 in the same year, published the record in the Journal of the Natural 

 History Society of Siam. 



The American ichthyologist Hugh McCormick Smith (1865-1941) 

 went to Thailand in 1923 as adviser in fisheries to the Siamese Govern- 

 ment. Smith's investigations took him, during the subsequent 11 

 years, to every part of the Kingdom, and he was accompanied on 

 these excursions by the Dyak collector Layang Gaddi, who made ex- 

 tensive collections of birds and other animals for the United States 

 National Museum. The following resume of Smith's collecting locali- 

 ties in the northern provinces has been compiled from his field
