Dr. W. L. Abbott collected two males and one female in Trang 

 (Prahmon, April 2 and 4, 1896; and Tyching, May 24, 1896); and two 

 females in Tenasserim (Maliwun, March 21, 1900; Telok Besar, 

 February 29, 1904). 



The present form ranges from Assam south of the Brahmaputra, 

 Burma, Siam, French Indo-China, Hainan, and Peninsular Siam as 

 far south as Trang at least. In Siam it occurs nearly all over the 

 country from the north, where it has been recorded by Gyldenstolpe ^^ 

 from Khun Tan and Doi Par Sakeng; and by Deignan ^^ from Chieng- 

 mai. It has been reported from other localities to at least as far 

 south as Trang in Peninsular Siam. Herbert ^^ found it nesting in 

 central Siam from May until September 20, laying three or four eggs. 

 It has also been found on many of the islands aroimd the coast of Siam. 



Delacour and Jabouille ^^ state that the specimens from Indo-China 

 are intermediate between this race and C. s. sinensis. The latter is 

 a larger race occuring in southern China. 



The immature female from Bangkok was collected February 13 

 and is about half grown. It must therefore have been hatched at a 

 later date than the last date given by Herbert.
