BIRDS FR0:M SIAM and the MALAY PENINSULA 439 



nearby mountams. Lowe ^"^ records it 40 miles east of Umpang. 

 Robinson and Kloss ^^ record it from Tapli and Tasan and state that 

 its range extends south as far as Bandon, Peninsular Siam, and call 

 attention to the fact that the northern bird should probably be 

 known as A. s.flamventris (Jerdon). 



ABROSCOPUS SUPERCILIARIS SCHWANERI (Blyth) 

 Abrornis schwaneri Blyth, Ibis, 1870, p. 169 (Borneo). 



Dr. W. L. Abbott took a single male on Kao Soi Dao, 2,000 feet, 

 Trang, February 11, 1899. He records the color of the feet as pale 

 brownish olive. 



This specunen agrees with three unsexed specimens from Alount 

 Kina Balu, Borneo, and a pair from Selangor. The form differs from 

 A. s. superciliaris principally in having the center of the breast white 

 and averaging somewhat larger. It measures: Wing, 51; tail, 36; 

 culmen, 10.5 mm. The only sexed female in the series of the United 

 States National Museum measures: Wing, 45; tail, 32; culmen, 10.5 

 mm. This would indicate that the female is smaller than the male 

 and that the unsexed Kina Balu specimens are males as they are 

 large. This being the case, five males in the United States National 

 Museum from Trang (1), Selangor (1), and Borneo (3) measure: 

 Wing, 51-55 (52.8); tail, 36-42 (39.8); culmen, 10-11 (10.6) mm. 



This form ranges from Borneo to Sumatra, the Malay States, and 

 northward through Peninsular Siam to Trang and possibly somewhat 

 farther north. It is rather uncertain just what form occurs between 

 Trang and Bandon, 



ABROSCOPUS ALBOGULARIS ALBOGULARIS (Moore) 



Abrornis albogularis Mooke, Proc. Zool. See. London, 1854, p. 106 (Nepal). 



One male. Pang Meton (Doi Nangka), May 2, 1931; onr female, 

 Doi Hua Mot, August 14, 1934. 



The male from Pang Meton was apparently the first record for 

 Siam.'^ Subsequently the female was taken. 



The form ranges from Nepal, Sikkim, and Assam to Manipur, the 

 Chin Hills, and northern Siam. In southern and western China, 

 Tonkin, and uj^per Laos, A. a. Julvijacies (Swinhoe) occurs. 



HORORNIS CANTURIANS CANTURIANS (Swinhoe) 



ArudiiMX carduriana Swinhoe, Ibis, 1860, p. 52 (Amoy, China). 



Dr. Smith took an adult male at Vientiane, Laos, February 21, 1929. 



Apparently there are no records for Siam at present, but as it has 

 been taken on the opposite side of the Mekong, it will undoubtedly be 

 taken eventually in Siam.
