Dr. W. L. Abbott took an adult female at Champang, Tenasserim^ 

 December 21, 1903, but I cannot match it by an}' female in the above 

 Siamese series. It is darker below an.d on the ear coverts and ap- 

 proaches C.J. saturatior of the Mala}^ Peninsula of which it is more or 

 less of an intermediate. The ranges of C.f.Jrontalis and C.J. saturatior 

 probably meet in the near vicinity. 



Unfortunately I have been unable to examine any specimens from 

 Ceylon and very few from India proper. 



The range of C.J.Jrontalis is given as practically all India, including 

 Ceylon, Burma, and Siam east to Laos, Tonkin, Annam, Cocliinchina, 

 and Cambodia. This form apparently occurs more or less com- 

 monly all over Siam proper, more especially in the north. According 

 to Deignan^^ it occurs on Doi Sutep at 3,500-4,600 feet. 



CALLISITTA FRONTALIS SATURATIOR (Hartert) 



Siita saturatior Hartert, Nov. ZooL, vol. 9, p. 573, 1902 (Gunong Tahan, Pa- 

 hang) . 



Three males, Bangnara, Patani, July 10, 1926; one male, Kao 

 Chong, Trang, September 1, 1933. 



Dr. W. L. Abbott took four males and one female in Trang as fol- 

 lows: Prahmon, March 22, 1896; Lay Song Hong, September 7, 1896, 

 and November 6, 1896; and Kao Soi bao, 1,000 feet, February 8, 1899. 



All the specimens agree in being considerably darker below and hav- 

 ing broader black foreheads than C.J.Jrontalis. 



Count Gyldenstolpe*^ says it has been collected at Bukit Besar, 

 Nawnchik, Bandon, Lamra, and on Puket; Robinson*' says it is con- 

 fined to the southern two-thirds of the Malay Peninsula. As the 

 United States National Museum has typical specimens from Trang, it 

 must go considerably north of this point at least.
