BIRDS FROM SIAM AND THE MALAY PENINSULA 265 



HYPUROLEPIS JAVANICA ABBOTTI Oberholser 



Hypurolepis javanica abbotli Oberholser, U. S. Nat. Mus. Bull. 98, p. 32, 1917 

 (Pulo Mariguan, Anamba Islands). 



Dr. W. L. Abbott collected the following: Two males and three 

 females, Pulo Langkawi, December 1, 8, 1899; three males and two 

 females, Mergiii Archipelago (Loughborough Island, January 25, and 

 Bentnick Island, March 10, 1900); one female, Packa, Trengganu,- 

 September 26, 1900. 



This series agrees fairly well with the typical series from the Anamba 

 Islands in color and size. The female from Trengganu is a bird of the 

 year, with pale throat, no bay-colored forehead, and the upperparts, 

 except the middle of the back, dull fuscous and glossless. 



Williamson *' records it breeding on Koh Sichang, Koh Phai, and 

 Koh Phra, Inner Gulf of Siam. Robinson and Kloss *^ obtained a 

 male on Pulo Langkawi in June; Robinson*^ records it from Koh 

 Muk (Trang), Pulo Terutau, and Pulo Tengah, in addition to Lang- 

 kawi, and states that it is a common resident all along the coast of 

 the Malay Peninsula; Robinson and Kloss** state that Williamson 

 has a male taken at Koh Lak and that it is a common resident every- 

 where in open country and on the coast (in the Malay Peninsula 

 and southwestern Siam). 



Birds of this genus seem to be partial to the seacoast and small 

 islands off the coast. 



The form has a wide range occurring from the coasts of Cambodia 

 and southeastern Siam to southwestern Siam, southern Burma, 

 Tenasserim, the Malay Peninsula, Anamba Islands, and probably 

 some adjacent island groups.
