This record represents an addition to the Siamese avifauna. It 

 somewhat resembles P. ochraceiceps ochraceiceps but is darker above, 

 the white superciliary is bordered above by blackish, the ear coverts 

 are blacker and extend farther posteriorly, the breast and belly are 

 light buff, and the bill is shorter and heavier. 



The form extends from the Toungoo and Karen Hills, upper Burma, 

 to northern Siam. Delacour *^ has named a race P.J. orientalis from 

 central Tonkin. This, judged from the plate,^' represents a form with 

 a more reddish-brown back and tail. The above two specimens have 

 been recorded previously by me.°*
