bars and the ocelli without a biiffy outer ring, possibly an immature 

 plumage. 



Robinson and Kloss ^^ refer Gairdner's records from Ratburi and 

 Petchaburi to this form; Gyldenstolpe's ^° record from Kliun Tan may 

 belong here or it may be P. b. bailyi. 



The form ranges from Chiltagong, Chin and Kachin Hills, south to 

 northern Tenasserim and east to northern Siam, northern Laos, and 

 southern Yunnan. There are few records for Siam, probably owing 

 to the secretive habits of the birds.

Polyplectron germaini Elliot, Ibis, 1866, p. 56 (Cochinchina) . 



One female, Huey Yang, Kao Luang, Nakon Sritamarat, October 7, 

 1930. 



This seems to be the first definite record of this fine species from 

 Peninsular Siam. 



Delacour and Jabouille ^^ give the range of the species as Cochin- 

 china, south Annam, Cambodia, and a great part of southern Siam. 



POLYPLECTRON MALACCENSIS (Scopoli) 



Pkasianus malaccensis Scopoli, Deliciae florae et faunae insubricae, pt. 2, p. 93, 

 1786 (Malacca). 



Dr. W. L. Abbott collected an adult male at the Rumpin River, 

 Pahang, June 26, 1902. 



He gives the soft parts as: Iris pale blue; naked orbital skin orange; 

 bill blackish, fleshy beneath at base; gape orange; feet slaty. Weight, 

 Iji pounds. 



Ogilvie-Grant ®^ records it from Patani; August Miiller ^^ from the 

 island of Puket under the name P. bicalcaratum. 



The species ranges from southern Tenasserim southward through 

 Peninsular Siam to the Malay States and Sumatra. It is readily 

 distinguished by the ocelli of the tail, which are united, or nearly so, 

 along the shaft.
