 of the Malay States. C. /. annamensis Delacour and Jaboiiille occurs 

 from Annam to western Tonldn and western Laos. C.f. styani Grant 

 is confined to Hainan and eastern Tonkin. C. /. ricketti Sty an is 

 apparently known only from two specimens from central Fohkien, 

 China. 



CHLOROPICOIDES RAFFLESI PENINSULARIS (Hesse) 



Gauropicoides rafflesi peninsularis Hesse, Orn. Monatsb., 1911, p. 192 (Malacca). 



One male, Kao Soi Dao, Trang, December 23, 1933. 



This seems to be a rare bird north of the Malay States; at least 

 there are few records from the north. The Trang male measures: 

 Wing, 142; tail, 101; cuimen, 32 mm. A male from Malacca: Wing, 

 143; cuimen, 34 mm. A female from the same place: Wing, 150; 

 cuimen, 32.5 mm. 



An adult male from Banka has the breast and belly cinnamon- 

 brown, with an olive wash quite different from the dark citrine of the 

 Trang male. There is no reddish wash on the rump; wing, 144 mm. 

 The different color of the lower parts is hkely due to stain or wear. 



C. r. peninsularis ranges from southern Tenasserim south through 

 Peninsular Siam to Singapore. Stuart Baker ^^ records it from Tung 

 Song from Herbert's collection; Robinson and Kloss " from Tasan, 

 Chumporn; de Schauensee ^^ from Nakon Sritamarat. It is apparently 

 more abundant in the Malay States. Most of the specimens in 

 collections have come from Malacca. 



Two other races have been recognized: Chloropicoides rafflesi 

 rafflesi (Vigors), from Sumatra and Banka, and C. r. borneonensis 

 (Hesse), from Borneo. 



The differences in the three races seem to rest principally upon 

 size. C. r. borneonensis is small; wing of male in the United States 

 National Museum, 133 nun, and of female, 123 mm; but in the other 

 two races the differences seem to be average only and somewhat 

 doubtful.
