Dr. W. L. Abbott collected the following: Five males and three 

 females in Trang (Prahmon, March 4-April 10, 1896; Tyching, May 

 29, 1896; Lay Song Hong, September 5, 1896; Trang, January 4, 1897; 

 Kok Sai, December 29, 1898); one male, Singapore Island, May 18, 

 1899; one male and five females, Trengganu (Dungun Kiver, Sep- 

 tember 18, 24, 1900; Tanjong Dungun, September 21, 22, 1900; 

 Kemamun, October 2, 1900). He gives the soft parts as: Iris dark 

 red or brown; feet greenish leaden, olive plumbeous, or leaden; bill 

 black, leaden beneath at base. 



Specim.ens from the Malay Peninsula do not seem to differ materi- 

 ally from those from western Java or Sumatra. 



Three males from western Java measure: Wing, 132.5-133 (132.8); 

 tail, 85-94 (88.7); culmen, 28-30.5 (29) mm. Five males from Su- 

 matra and islands off eastern coast: Wing, 130-137 (133.8); tail, 

 78-89 (83.7); culmen, 28-30 (28.8) mm. Ten males from the Malay 

 Peninsula (Singapore north to Bandon): Wing, 122-140 (134); tail, 

 83-93 (86) ; culmen, 26.5-30 (28) mm. One female from eastern Java: 

 Wing, 136; tail, 86; culmen, 28 mm. One female from Sumatra (first) 

 and one female from the Khio Archipelago: Wing, 128-132.5; tail, 

 84.5-84; culmen, 28.5-28 mm. Ten females from Peninsular Siam: 

 Wing, 130-139 (134.4); tail, 76.5-89 (84); culmen, 26.5-29 (27.2 mm). 



The range of the form extends from western Java to some of the 

 islands off the east coast of Sumatra, Sumatra, and the Malay Penin- 

 sula north to about latitude 10° N. Apparently it is a common form 

 in the Malay Peninsula from Singapore to the Isthmus of Kra. 



Another form, D. j. exsvl (Hartert), is found in Bali and East Java, 

 and a still smaller one, D. j. borneensis (Dubois), occurs in Borneo.
