412 BULLETIN 17 2, UNITED STATES NATION^VL MUSEUM 



Besides these the United States National Museum contains one 

 male from Koh Kut, December 26; two males from the llaheng 

 region, western Siam, May 27 and June 4; and one male, Dalat, 

 southern Annam, May 5. 



The range of this race roughly extends from northern Siam down 

 Peninsular Siam as far as Trang and from southeastern Siam and some 

 ,of the adjacent islands off the coast into Cambodia, southern Annam, 

 _and Laos. 



Gyldenstolpe **^ long since recorded a male from Khun Tan; de 

 Schauensee ^* took adults and an immature at Chiengmai, 4,500 feet, 

 July 21. 



Robinson and Kloss ^^ state that in a very large series of birds in 

 the Raffles Museum from the Malay Peninsula and its adjacent islands 

 from the Isthmus of Kra to Selangor, they have seen no specimens of 

 this race south of Trang and that in spite of the apparent e\ddence 

 afforded by the birds of Koh Kut and southern Annam they are 

 strongly inclined to think that innotata has no existence, even as a 

 subspecies. It is possible, though, that innotata is the resident form 

 from northern Siam southward and that citrina is only a winter visitor, 



G. c. innotata is distinguished from citrina by the absence of the 

 white tips to the median wing coverts.

Dr. W. L. Abbott collected one male. Lay Song Hong, Trang, 

 December 20, 1896. He describes the soft parts as: Iris dark brown; 

 bill black; feet fleshy wliite. 



Dr. C. W. Richmond ^^ recorded the above specimen in an introduc- 

 tion to a paper on three new birds from Trang; Robinson and Kloss ^' 

 record a male from Tasan, Chumporn, Peninsular Siam, taken March 

 14, 1919, and say they also have it from Tampin, near Malacca. 

 Previously they had recorded it from the hills of Negri Sembilan.^'^ 

 Hume ^ referred a specimen taken in Rembau, in what is now Negri 

 Sembilan, to Gray's Turdus avensis, which was originally named from 

 an Indian drawing. According to Robinson,^'' the above four speci- 

 mens are the only ones so far taken in the Malay Peninsula.
