 Habils, Ac. I have, on one or two occasions, purchased siDeci- 

 mens of this Flower-pecker, in Bangkok, from the bird-catcher refer- 

 red to in connection with the last species, and he informed me he had 

 caught them here. As the man lives in Bangkok, and traps most of

 but as it is very small, and of dingy colouration, it is liltely to escape 

 observation. In some places it appears to ba fairly common. Robin- 

 son (Ibis 191S, p. 756) records four specimens as having been obtained 

 by Mr. C. Boden Kloss at Ok Yam, in South-eastern Siam, while I 

 saw several ( of which one was shot and preserved ) at Muak-lelc in 

 the Eastern division of the country.
