CORVUS MACRORHYNCHOS ANDAMANENSIS Beavan 



Corvus andamanensis Beavan, Ibis, 1866, p. 420 (Andaman Islands). 



One male and five females, Bangkok, September 26, 1924, Novem- 

 ber 6, 1925, January 19 and March 2, 1928, February 6, 1931. 



Dr. W, L. Abbott collected one female, Victoria Point, Tenasserim, 

 November 24, 1900, and one male, Domel Island, Mergui Archipelago, 

 January 22, 1904. 



The above have been compared with one male and two females 

 from the Andamans, with which they agree fairly well. 



The one male and two females from the Andaman Islands measure: 

 Wing, 310-335 (326.3); culmen, 57-61 (59.2) mm. Two males and 

 five females from central and eastern Siam: Wing, 295-327 (309.3); 

 culmen, 53-63 (56.5) mm. One female from Tenasserim: Wing, 310; 

 ■culmen, 54 mm. The male from Domel Island: Wing, 297; culmen, 

 •62 mm. Three females from northwestern Laos in the United States 

 National Museum seem to agree with the Siamese specimens. They 

 measure: Wing, 295-335 (316.7); culmen, 57-58 mm (one with 

 injured bill). 



This crow ranges from the Andaman Islands to Tenasserim, Assam, 

 Burma, western, central, northern, and eastern Siam, and north- 

 western Laos. It seems to be generally distributed all over Siam 

 proper. I have seen no specimens from southwestern Siam, however. 

 Herbert ^ reports it a common breeding bird near Bangkok, nesting 

 in January and February, though he had a set of five fresh eggs taken 

 as early as December 23, and occasionally it may be found with fresh 

 eggs at the beginning of March.

Corvus macrorhynchos Wagler, Systema avium, Corvus, sp. 3, 1827 (Nova 

 Hollandia, Nova Guinea, Sumatra, and Java; type in Munich Museum from 

 Java). 



Dr. W. L. Abbott collected two males at Prahmon, Trang, March 

 2, 3, 1896, and three males at the Butang Islands (Pulo Nipis, Decem- 

 ber 13, 1899; Pulo Adang, March 15, 16, 1899).
