STREPTOPELIA ORIENTALIS MEENA (Sykes) 



Turtur meena Sykes, Proc. Zool. Soc. London, 1832, p. 149 (Deccan). 



Two males, Chiengdao, February 1, 1932; one male, Mae Hong 

 Sorn, January 7, 1933. 



Gyldenstolpe ^^ recorded one shot at IQiun Tan, but not saved. 

 Deignan ^° reports this dove as rare at Chiengmai, where a native 

 brought him a live bird that had been snared on the plain in May; 

 later he states it had been found there in March, May, and August.^^ 



The form ranges from Bengal and Assam to Burma, Tenasserim, 

 and northern Siam. 



OENOPOPELIA TRANQUEBARICA HUMILIS (Tenuninck) 



Columha humilis Temminck, Nouveau recueil de planches colorizes d'oiseaux, 

 livr. 44, pi. 259, March 1824 (Bengal and Luzon). 



One male and one female, Bangkok, September 18, 1923, and April 

 23, 1924; one male and one female, Nong Mong, Muang Krabin, 

 August 26, 1925; one female, Muang Kanburi, Apiil 10, 1928; one 

 male, Sam Roi Yot, November 9, 1932. 



Gyldenstolpe ^^ records it from Khun Tan, Sap Tue, and Koh Lak 

 and states that it is very common in the southwest but less so in 

 northern Siam; Herbert ^^ states that it breeds in the vicinity of 

 Bangkok from March to August, the clutch consisting of two eggs; 

 Chasen and Kloss ^* record it from the Raheng District; Deignan ^^ 

 found it common at Chiengmai ; Robinson and Kloss ^^^ give Pakchan 

 as the southern limit of this dove in Peninsular Siam; elsewhere it 

 seems to be generally distributed throughout the country. 



This form is supposed to range from Dauria and China south to 

 Assam, Burma, Siam proper, Indo-China, and the Philippines, but it 

 hardly seems possible that it covers so wide a territory. 



MACROPYGIA UNCHALL TUSALIA (Blyth) 



Columha (Macropygia) tusalia Blyth, Journ. Asiat. Soc. Bengal, vol. 12, p. 936, 

 1843 (Darjeeling). 



One male and two females, Doi Angka, 6,200-8,400 feet, December 

 5-7, 1928; one male and one female, Doi Nangka, November 3 and 10, 

 1930; one female, Khun Tan Mountains, 4,300 feet. May 12, 1933; one 

 immature female, Doi Hua Mot, August 21, 1934. 



The typical Macropygia unchall uncholl (Wagler) is confined to 

 Java and the southern Malay States, and it is very doubtful if iusalia 

 should be made only a race of unchall; probably it should be accorded
