BIRDS FROir SIAIM AND THE MALAY PENINSULA 289 



BHRINGA PERACENSIS LEFOLI Delacour and Jabouille 



Bhringa remifer Icfoli Delacaur and Jabouille, Bull. Brit. Orn. Club, vol. 48, 

 p. 133, 1928 (Bokor, 1,000 meters, southern Cambodia). 



One male and one female, Kao Kuap, Krat, December 25, 26, 1929; 

 two females, Kao Sabap, 500 meters, November 17, 24, 1933. 



These two specmens have been compared with an unsexed specimen 

 of B. J), jyeracensis from Gunong Mengkuang Lebah, Selangor. The 

 metallic tips to the feathers of the upper and lowerparts of the latter 

 are steely or purplish blue rather than the coppery green of the Siamese 

 specimens. The web of the racket does not extend so far along the 

 shaft in B. p. 'peracensis; in other words, the racket is shorter. 



The United States National Museum has also a female of this form 

 from Klong Menao and three females from southern Annam (Dran 

 and Dalat) that I would place here provisionally; they do not seem to 

 belong to the Malay form. The range of B. p. lejoli would then be 

 southeastern Siam, southern Laos, and southern Annam.
