BIRDS FROM SIAM AND THE MALAY PENINSULA 327 



recorded P. h. tickelli from CKiengdao, 4,000 feet. The immature 

 male from the Khun Tan Mountains resembles the adult except the 

 jugulum is sparsely spotted with sagittate spots and the bill is a little 

 smaller (39.5 mm), the upperparts more reddish brown, and the 

 flanks washed with hazel. The immature male from Lamton Lang 

 is similar, but the jugular spots have almost disappeared. 



The form ranges from Tonkin, northern Annam, and northern 

 Laos to eastern and northern Siam.

Eupetes macrocercus Temminck, Nouveau recueil de planches colori6es d'oiseaux, 

 livr. 87, pi. 516, 1831 (Padang, Sumatra). 



One male and one female, Sichol, Bandon, May 15, 1930. 



Dr. W. L. Abbott collected a male on the Rumpin River, Pahang, 

 July 4, 1902. 



Stuart Baker ^ separated the Peninsular Siamese bird as E. m. 

 griseiventris, but Robinson and Kloss ^ have questioned the validity. 

 The three specimens listed above seem to bear out their remarks 

 when compared with two from Sumatra. 



The form occurs m Sumatra and on the Malay Peninsula north to 

 Bandon, Peninsular Siam. 



This very peculiar, anomalous bird is an inhabitant of the lowlands 

 rarely ascending the hills above 2,500 feet. E. m. borneensis Robin- 

 son and Kloss is confined to Borneo.
