CRINIGER TEPHROGENYS ANNAMENSIS Delaconr and Jabouille 



Criniger tephrogenys annamensis Delacour and Jabouille, Bull. Brit. Orn. 

 Club, vol. 45, p. 32, 1924 (Laobao, Quangtri, Annam). 



One male, Kao Lem, December 26, 1930. Wing, 108; culmen, 

 19 mm. 



This male agrees fairly well with a specimen of this race from 

 Daban, southern Annam, except that the breast and belly are some- 

 what deeper yellow. This form should not be confused with C. t. 

 henrici of the north, which is a larger bird with the underparts aver- 

 aging paler. 



C. t. annamensis ranges from Annam to Laos, Cambodia, and 

 eastern Siam. 



This is the first and only record for Siam known to me. 



CRINIGER TEPHROGENYS HENRICI Oustalet 



Criniger henrici Oustalet, Bull. Mus. Hist. Nat. Paris, 1896, p. 185 (southern 

 Yunnan and northern Tonkin). 



One male and two females, Khun Tan, October 22, 1929, August 

 28 and September 5, 1930; one male, Huey Me Sae, December 24, 

 1932; one female, Khun Tan Mountains, 3,000 feet, May 10, 1933; 

 one male, Doi Hua Mot, August 29, 1934. 



The male from Huey Me Sae is a deeper yellow below than the 

 Khun Tan male. The above series agrees with a small series from 

 northern Tonkin. 



The form ranges from the northeastern Shan States to southern 

 Yunnan, Kwangsi, northern Siam, Laos, and Tonkin. Rothschild ""• 

 says that C. t. grandis Baker is a synonym. 



Gyldenstolpe *• found it fairly common in bamboo and evergreen 

 forests in northern Siam, and on his second expedition *^ he secured 

 specimens at Khun Tan, Bang Hue Pong, and Doi Par Sakeng. De 

 Schaucnsee *^ took a series at Chiengmai and Chiengdao.
