BIRDS FROM SIAM AND THE MALAY PENINSULA 71 



One male from Trang (no. 160092) has the shaft stripes on the flanks 

 partly deep buff and partly white; so the deep buff of these stripes 

 mentioned by Robinson and Kloss ^^ in the immature is probably duo 

 to age. One male (no. 169689) collected by Dr. Abbott in Trang, 

 January 5, has the flank shaft stripes much reduced in width until they 

 are not much more than hair lines. 



Dr. Smith's Sichol male specimen has the white flank markings 

 broad and distinct and extending in a line across the chest; the chest 

 feathers are stippled with white; the crest is short. 



DIARDIGALLUS DIARDI (Bonaparte) 



Euplocomus diardi Bonaparte, Comptee Rendus Acad. Sci. Paris, vol. 43, p. 415, 

 1S56 (no locality given; Cochinchina). 



Five males, Pak Chong, February 18, 1924, May 15, 1925, November 

 27, 1929, and June 22, 1934; one male and one female, Sikeu, near 

 Korat, February 21, 1926; one male, Tha Chang, March 21, 1927; one 

 female, Lat Bua Kao, July 31, 1929; one female, Hin Lap, December 

 9, 1931; two males, Muek Lek, April 23, 1933; one male, and two 

 females, Nong Ivlior, November 18, 1924, and February 7, 11, 1927. 



Dr. Smith gives the color of the soft parts as: Male — iris red; legs 

 red; female — iris dull red-brown; bill black; legs red. 



Four eggs were collected at Lamton Lang, Pak Chong, May 25, 1934, 

 and one at Pak Chong, June 22, 1934. They are rounded-ovate, pale 

 ochraceous-buff, and measure 48.4 by 40.7, 48.8 by 39.8, 48.2 by 40.2, 

 48.4 by 39.8, and 47.9 by 39.6 mm. 



This species ranges from southern Annam, Cochinchina, Cambodia, 

 and southern Laos to Siam and the Shan States, Burma. 



Gyldenstolpe ^* records it from the Meli Lem River, northern Siam; 

 Herbert *^ records one set of eight eggs taken April 19 and a partial 

 set of two eggs taken May 2 by his collector at Muek Lek. 



All Dr. Smith's specimens are from the eastern or the southeastern 

 part of Siam, and all the records for the country seen by me, except 

 that of Count Gjddenstolpe, are from this region. It must be rare in 

 the north.
