Count Gyldenstolpe ^ reports it from Doi Nga Chang south of 

 Lakorn Lampong under the name P. brevirostris. De Schauensee ^ 

 records it from Doi Sutep, 2,500-4,500 feet, December and Chiengsen, 

 January. Mr. Aagaard collected both tliis and P. b. negledus on 

 Doi Sutep as recorded by Chasen and Kloss.^ Later de Schauensee * 

 secured both forms there also, the present one at a lower level, 2,000- 

 4,600 feet, December 11-29. 



P. 6. affinis ranges from Assam to western Yunnan, northern 

 Burma, and northern Siam. 



De Schauensee* says that it is not a common bird in the north; 

 possibly it may be only a winter visitor.

 one male, Khun Tan, 4,000 feet, February 16, 1932; seven males and 

 four females, Doi Hua Mot, August 12-September 4, 1934. 



Count Gyldenstolpe * took a few at Khun Tan, recorded as P. s. 

 griseigularis ; de Schauensee' took a male at Chiengmai, recorded as 

 above; Deignan '' reports it not uncommon on Doi Sutep from 4,600- 

 5,500 feet. Apparently it is a common bird in northern Siam. 



The reds in tliis form are flame scarlet or even in some specimens 

 orange-chrome, the chin pale gull gray, the throat washed vnth orange 

 or a lighter yellow, the cheeks neutral gray. 



The form ranges from Nepal to eastern Assam and northern Burma

PERICROCOTUS SOLARIS MANDARINUS Stresemann 



Pericrocolus Solaris mandarinus Stresemann, Journ. fiir Orn., 1923, p. 363 

 (Lung-tau-shan, Kwantung, China). 



One male and one female, Kao Kuap, December 24, 1929. 



This form is apparently new for Siam, unless Count Gyldenstolpe's 

 record of P. s. Solaris from Non Luum in eastern Siam should prove 

 to be it.* 



The form is quite difl'erent from the bird I am calling P. s. Solaris. 

 The reds are brighter, scarlet rather than flame scarlet; the throat
