BIRDS FROM SIAM AND THE MALAY PENINSULA 455 



M. h. sodaica Robinson and Kloss is found in the mountains of 

 western Sumatra, the Malay States, and Borneo. Possibly it occurs 

 in Patani. 



ANTHIPES MONILIGER LEUCOPS (Sharpe) 



Digenea leucops Sharpe, Proc. Zool. Soc. London, 1888, p. 246 (Shillong, India). 



Two females, Doi Nangka, November 12, 1930. 



These two specimens have been previously recorded by me.**^ They 

 were the first recorded for Siam. Later de Schauensee ®^ collected 

 two males and a female on Doi Sutep, 5,000-5,500 feet, February 3- 

 March 1. 



The range of this form is the mountains of Assam south of the 

 Brahmaputra, mountains of upper Burma, northern Siam, French 

 Laos, Tonkin, and North Annam. 



ANTHIPES SOLITARIA MALAYANA (Sharpe) 



Digenea malayana Sharpe, Proc. Zool. Soc. London, 1888, p. 247 (Larut Hills, 

 Perak). 



Dr. W. L. Abbott took a single male at Kao Nok Ram, 2,000 feet, 

 Trang, January 11, 1899. 



This specimen is much more saturate above than a male submoniliger 

 from the Raheng district, and the pectoral band is more suffused with 

 ochraceous-tawny. 



The ranges of this and submoniliger must come very close together 

 in Peninsular Siam, as Robinson and Kloss ^^ say that specimens 

 from Tung Song belong to submoniliger. Therefore the range of 

 malayana extends from Trang, Peninsular Siam, south to the hills 

 of the Malay States. 



NILTAVA SUNDARA DENOTATA Bangs and Phillips 



Niltava sundara denotata Bangs and Phillips, Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool., vol. 58, 

 no. 6, p. 280, 1914 (Mengtsze, Yunnan). 



De Schauensee ^* found this form in some numbers in winter on 

 Doi Sutep, 2,800-5,500 feet; Deignan^® later reports it fairly common 

 from 4,500 to 5,500 feet, rarely as low as 2,500 feet, on the same 

 mountain, but gives no date; Mr. Aagaard visited Sutep in February 

 and March and took three specimens at 4,600 feet, recorded by Chasen 

 and lOoss.^® These are all the Siamese records known to me. 



The form ranges from the high mountains of Yunnan and Szechwan, 

 western China, south to northern Siam. 



Whether the form is only a winter visitor to Siam or a permanent 

 resident is not known at present.
