1902. He describes the soft part as: Iris dark red; orbital skin light 

 blue; upper mandible black, lower mandible yellow; feet greenish 

 yellow; dull olive, or dull green. 



The form ranges from the Malay States north through Peninsular 

 Siam to southern Tenasserim. Robinson and Kloss ^^ record it from 

 Tapli and Tasan, northern Peninsular Siam, wldch seems to be about 

 the northern limit of its range in Siam. De Schauensee,^^ having for 

 study two males from Nakon Sritamarat, questions the validity of 

 the form. 



Eight adult males from Peninsular Siam measure: Wing, 126-136.5 

 (130.9); culmen, 28-31 (29.6) mm. Five adult males from Sumatra 

 (2) and Nias (3): Wing, 123-130 (126.6); culmen, 27-30 (28.6) mm. 



Those measurements indicate an average larger size for the con- 

 tinental bird. None of the adult males measured from the continent 

 by me has wings as small as those given by de Schauensee, except 

 one, and that shows signs of being immature. Its measurements are 

 not included, therefore, in those given above. This specimen differs 

 from the adult male only as follows: The breast is brownish with 

 round, deep, clive-buff spots, and the wings are a deeper red; the wing 

 measures 123 mm. The two birds mentioned by de Schauensee may 

 not be fully adult. 



Cirropicus puniceus observandus (Hartert), a closely related form, 

 inhabits Sumatra, Nias, Banka, and Borneo. C. p. puniceus (Hors- 

 field) is confined to Java. 



CALLOLOPHUS MINIATUS PERLUTUS Kloss 



Callolophus mineatus perlutus Kloss, Ibis, 1918, p. 110 (Koh Lak, southwestern 

 Siam). 



One male and two females, Pran, May 28, 1928, April 2, 1931. 



Dr. W. L. Abbott collected one female at Bok Pyin, Tenasserim, 

 February 15, 1900, and one male at Telok Besar, Tenasserim, March 

 19, 1904. 



This form is a larger form than C. m. malaccensis. 



Three males measure: Wing, 138-142 (140.3); tail, 77-84 (81.3); 

 culmen, 28-28.5 (28.3) mm. Three females: Wing, 133-143 (138); 

 tail, 78-85.5 (82.8); culmen, 26-29 (27) mm. 



It ranges northward from the Pakchan Estuary through southern 

 Tenasserim and southwestern Siam to south-central Siam. 



There is a specimen in the British Museum from Aleklong,^^ which 

 is as far north as I have seen any records for Siam. Robmson and 

 Kloss '^ assign specimens from Chumporn and Pakchan to the southern 

 form. In Tenasserim it is said to go as far north as Tavoy.
