BIRDS FROM SIAM AND THE MALAY PENINSULA 375 



Criniger salangae Sharpe, A hand-list of the genera and species of birds, vol. 3, 

 p. 316, 1901 (new name for Criniger cabanisi Muller, not of Sharpe). 



One adult male and one immature male, Koh Chang, April 4, 1924 

 and March 10, 1930; one female, Koh Kut, May 22, 1929; six males 

 and one female, Nong Khor, near Sriracha, September 22-26, 1925, 

 March 24, 1926; one male, Kao Seining, Krat, October 12, 1928; two 

 males, four females, and one unsexed, Kao Sabap, Chantabun, 

 January 6-9, 1930, October 24-November 3, 1933; one male, Nong 

 Yang, November 4, 1931; two males and one female, Hupbon, 

 November 2-15, 1931. 



The following specimens collected by Dr. W. L. Abbott are in the 

 United States National Museum: Six mules and three females, 

 Trang (Kao Nom Plu, 1,000 feet, February 23, 1897; Kao Nok Ram, 

 2,000 feet, January 11-14, 1899; Kao Soi Dao, 3,000 feet, February 1, 

 1899; two with only "Trang," February 3, 1897, and January 28, 1899); 

 two males, Pulo Langkawi, December 2 and 8, 1899; four males, 

 Mergui Archipelago (St. Matthew Island, January 17, 1900, and 

 December 24, 1903; Sullivan Island, February 2, 1900; Ross Island, 

 March 5, 1900); three males and one female, southern Tenasserim 

 (Victoria Point, January 3 and March 31, 1900; Tanjong Badak, 

 Januarys 7 and 10, 1900). He gives the soft parts as: Iris dark brown; 

 bill leaden, dark above; feet fleshy brown. 



It will be noted that Dr. Smith's series came from southeastern 

 Siam, while Dr. Abbott's came from southern Tenasserim and Penin- 

 sular Siam. There appears to be little or no difference in color between 

 the two series. The Peninsular series may average a trifle smaller. 



De Schauensee ^* records the form from Chiengmai, and Deignan ** 

 records it from Doi Sutep, 3,000-3,500 feet, but this is more or less 

 of a lowland form and Dr. Smith did not collect it in northern Siam. 

 Count Gyldenstolpe *^ gives it as of general distribution throughout 

 Siam proper. 



The form is found from southern Tenasserim through Peninsular 

 Siam to the Malay States, southern and southeastern Siam to Cochin- 

 china, and south Annam. 



In the mountains of the Malay States, from Perak to Negri Sembilan 

 and Pahang, a larger darker form occurs, one so different, in fact, that 

 it could very well rank as a species. It has been named C. o. sacculatus 

 Robinson.^^ There is a possibility that it may be found in western 

 Patani.
