female from Hat Sanuk, near Koh Lak, taken April 14, 1919 (evidently 

 the southernmost record for Siam) .^'' It is probably resident in Siam. 



The species ranges from the Himalayas to the mountains of western 

 China, Siam, Tonkin, and Laos. In winter it moves somewhat 

 farther south. 



Just how to distinguish immature affmis from gularis is difhcult 

 to answer; in the latter the closed wings come nearer to the tip of the 

 tail. In comparable plumages A. affinis is more heavily marked 

 below. In adult plumage there is no difficulty. A. gularis is much 

 paler, with a hair-line dark streak down the center of the throat and 

 a proportionally shorter tail; the central throat streak in affinis is 

 comparatively heavy. 



ACCIPITER GULARIS NISOIDES BIyth 



Accipiter nisoides Blyth, Journ. Asiat. Soc. Bengal, vol. 16, p. 727, 1847 (Malacca) 



Dr. W. L. Abbott collected an immature male and an immature 

 female on Pulo Terutau, Langkawi Group, November 8 and 21, 1903. 



Gyldenstolpe " records two males from Pak Koh, March 24 and 

 April 17, and an immature female from Khun Tan, May 24, 1914; 

 Robinson ^^ records a female from Klong Yai, January 4, and a male 

 from Ok Yam, January 3, 1915; Deignan "^ states that the form occurs 

 on Doi Sutep from 2,500 to 3,500 feet and that he shot an immature 

 bird on the plain in July; Robinson and Kloss ™ record three males 

 from Kandhuli, Chaiya, Peninsular Siam, taken September 13-22. 



Winter-taken birds may be A. g. gularis, but closely related races 

 of this genus are hard to discriminate, especially in immature plumage. 



A. g. nisoides is said to be resident from southern China to Indo- 

 China, Burma, and Siam, probably going farther south in winter.
