BIRDS FROM SIAM AKD THE MALAY PENINSULA 157 



Johore, June 27, 1901. He gives the soft parts as: Iris dark brown; 

 bill pale fleshy, dark brown at tip; feet dark brown. 



This smaller species of Lyncornis is confined to the southern end 

 of the Malay Peninsula from Penang southward, Sumatra, Nias, 

 Banka, and Borneo. Apparently it has never been recorded from 

 Peninsular Siam, but it occurs so close to the border that there is a 

 possibility of it being taken there. 



It can be easily distinguished from the larger species by smaller 

 size, shorter tail, and darker-colored crown. The wing in temminckii 

 measures about 210 mm; in cerviniceps, about 300 mm or more.

HEMIPROCNE CORONATA (Tickell) 



Hirundo coronata Tickell, Journ. Asiat. Soc. Bengal, vol. 2, p. 580, 1833 (Borab 

 hum and Dholbhum, west of Calcutta, India). 



One female, Ban Kang, December 31, 1928; one female, Ta Pra, 

 Korat, February 10, 1929; four males and one female, Mekhan, 

 February 6-8, 1932; one female, Khun Tan, 4,500 feet, February 14, 

 1932; one male, Mae Hong Sorn, Januaiy 10, 1933. 



This species extends from India to Burma, the Shan States, northern, 

 and eastern Siam, and Indo-China. In Siam, apparently, it is con- 

 fined to the hill forests of the northwest, northern, and eastern parts 

 of the country.

Oberholser ^* assigns Malay Peninsula specimens to his race H. I. 

 anochra from the Natuna Islands, but as there are only two specimens 

 from Sumatra in the United States National Museum and the series 

 from the Anamba and Natuna Islands is small, I prefer to consider the
