"I leave it to yoii, if yon tiiiiik it wortli \vliil(», to name tiie 

 Siamese form on account of its naiTower cliest-stripes and generally 

 thi'jker bill." 



Dr. Hartei't conchules by ask in <^ for I'uithei' specimens, including 

 autumn ones. These 1 have not j'et had the oiiportuuity of procuring. 

 Ill the meantime, therefore, tiie bird remains under the name of A. <j. 

 A((/a, tliougli it maj' b.i of interest to mention that, when Mr. E. C. 

 Stuart Baker was examining my specimens, he was struck with their 

 sharply acuminate tail-feathers. In this respect tiie birds differ from 

 the Indian A. (jabjida, but I am not certain whether the typical A. </, 

 ndla has this characteristic. 



I may add that the bird is common in the fields round Bangkok, 

 wliich is the 011I3' locality from whit'li I have procured it.
