and Tenasserim and east to Laos, Cambodia, Annam, Tonkin, and 

 South China. It occurs all over Siam except the Peninsular part. 

 Robinson and Kloss ^^ record one from Koh Pra Tung, Takuapah 

 Inlet, western Peninsular Siam, and state that it constitutes the 

 southernmost record in this direction. 



P. a. alexandri (Linnaeus) is confined to Java and southern Borneo; 

 no specimens from the latter locality have been examined. Javan 

 specimens are quite distinct from the mainland form, and it is very 

 doubtful if they should be regarded as forms of the same species. 

 There is a long gap between the ranges also. Three other forms have 

 been separated — one from the Andamans, one from Simalur, and one 

 irom Nias. 



PSITTACULA LONGICAUDA LON«ICAUDA (Boddaert) 



Psittacus longicauda Boddaert, Table des planches enlumiu^ez d'histoire naturelle, 

 p. 53, 1783 (Malacca). 



Dr. W. L. Abbott collected one male and one female, Rumpin 

 River, Pahang, June 11, 13, 1902; one male, Singapore Island, May 

 28, 1899. 



He gives the colors of the soft parts of the male from Singapore as: 

 Iris in two rings, the outer pale yellow, the inner green; upper mandible 

 red, pale brownish at tip; lower mandible horn brown; cere green; 

 feet greenish leaden. He says it is fairly common on the north side 

 of the mainland, going about in pairs or small flocks of 4 to 10 and up 

 to 30 individuals. 



This species ranges from Nias, Sumatra, Billiton, and Banka to the 

 southern Malay Peninsula, and Borneo. 



Robinson and Kloss " state that probably this parrot will be found 

 in the southern part of Patani, as Bonhote has recorded it from Ulu 

 Selama in North Perak. 



This is distinguished from the other species of the genus occurring 

 in Siam by having the crown green, cheeks and hindneck geranium 

 pink, and two broad black malar stripes in the male; in the female 

 the malar stripes are dark green, and there is no pink band across the 

 hindneck.

 and two immature females at Lay Song Hong, Trang, Peninsular 

 Siam, November 24 and December 10, 1896. 



Dr. Abbott describes the color of the soft parts as follows: Male 

 (no. 180126, East Sumatra) — upper mandible red, tip horn brown,
