A female was collected by Smith on Doi Suthep, 5,500 feet, December 

 15, 1928, while five males and one female were taken by Griswold 

 (Asiatic Primate Expedition) at the summit of Doi Ang Ka between 

 March 24 and 30, 1937; the species is probably an uncommon winter 

 visitor, restricted to the tops of our highest mountains. 



P. p. pulcher has the forehead, crown, and nape dark olive-green, 

 with an ill-defined paler median streak; the mantle rufescent olive- 

 green; the rump pale yellow; the three outermost pairs of rectrices 

 largely white; the wings like the mantle but with the innermost sec- 

 ondaries tipped buffy yellow, the median coverts tipped yellowish 

 olive to form an indistinct bar, and the greater coverts broadly tipped 

 orange to form a conspicuous bar; the lores and postocular streak 

 blackish ; the supercilium buffy yellow ; the underparts dull pale yel- 

 low, sullied (especially anteriorly) with gray.
