" Fairly numerous in the trees clotting the common land 

 surrounding Ok Yam village." — C. B. K, 



These five specimens do not in any way bear out Prof. 

 Neumann's diagnosis, having the wing over 112 mm. and the 

 culraen about 38'5 mm., and I therefore do not think it 

 advisable to split up the species. Moreover, there is no 

 evidence to show that the Saigon and Cambodian form is 

 not the typical race. 



Mesobucco duvangli orientalis, subs p. no v. 



Allied to M. d. cyanotis (Blyth) from Tenasserim and the 

 north of the Malay Peninsula, but somewhat larger in size, 

 and paler in general coloration, the red subocular spot much 

 intermixed with pale golden or straw-yellow.

These specimens seem a little larger, wing about 5*4 inches 

 in the male, than any of a considerable series from the 

 Malay Peninsula from Pulaii Langkawi, south to the Lingga 

 Archipelago. The green of the lateral stripes on the feathers 

 of the breast and flanks is also darker and the white shaft- 

 area of the feathers narrower. The section of the species 

 inhabiting Indo-China seems ([uite cut ofl' from that found
