Apparently there are no constant differences between Peninsular 

 specimens and those from farther north in Siam. 



The form ranges from Penang northward through Peninsular Siam 

 to Tenasserim, and southern Burma eastward to Siam proper, Cam- 

 bodia, southern Laos, Cocliinchina, and southern Annam. 



Herbert ^® says that it breeds in fruit gardens near Bangkok, nest- 

 ing from January to September and occasionally in other months; 

 Robinson records it from Koh Samui and Koh Pcnnan, off Bandon ■'° 

 and Terutau, Langka\\d, Butang Islands, and Trang." The only 

 northern records I have seen are those of Count Gyldenstolpe *^ for 

 Khun Tan and of de Schauensee ^^ for Chiengmai and Chiengsen.
