ON NEW RACES OF PAL/EORNIS EUPATRIA. 219 



Birds XX, p. 430 ). Tlie}- have no tinge of glaucous hlne on occiijut, 

 nape oi* clieeks. 



The otiier race indicated, but not named by TTunie for tlie 

 trivial reason quoted, differs in iiaving a rather longer tail, a narrower 

 black mandibular stripe and the base of the throat, below the black 

 area, distinctly yellow. This I propose to call 



Paiaearnis eupatria avensis, subsp. nov. 



Type: — Adult male collected at nhamn, I'pper Rarma, by Dr. 

 John Anderson on IStli January 187-j. Iris " white bluish speckled." 



Tail, 312 ; Wing, 217 ; Tarsus, 21 : Rill :— culmen, 38 ; heigiit 

 of maxilla at base, 22 ; length of edge from base to tip, 30 mm. 



It closely resembles P. c. iiKt'inifostris Ball, from tlie Andaman s, 

 but has a smaller bill and perhajis a yellower throat, while it lacks the 

 narrow sk3--blue neck-ring of that race. 



P. e. avemsis occurs also in Cachar (./''/f Ilume. S. V.. V, ]i. 21 ) ; 

 in the Irawadi division {iil. op. cit., IV, p. 39); and in Central 

 Tenasserim ( iiL op. cif. \'I, ]). 117 ). 



Of Siamese birds I have before me from Mr. Williamson : — 



16 ad., 16 subad., 2 5 ad., Lat Bua Kao, K. Siam. Sept. lOlG. 



Id ad. Sawankalok, Central Siam. Jan. 1016. 



l$ad. Sukothai, Central Siam. Jan. 101(5. 



And an immature female of unknown provenance, purchased 



in Rangkok and given me by H. 11. H. the Prince of Chumporn. 



These birds differ from 7'. e. arensis in having the black 

 of the throat .still more reduced ; the sides of the throat next the black 

 decidedly yellowish, not green ; the lower throat more intense- 

 ly yellow ; the red wing-patch much shorter (40 mm. against GO 

 mm. ) and in having the occiput, nape and sides of neck markedly 

 washed with glaucous blue ("cadet gray", Kidgway). For thi^^ T sug- 

 gest the name 



Palseornis eupatria siamensis, subsp. nov. 



Type:— Adult male obtained at i-at Rua Ivao, H. Siam, on 10th 

 September 1916 by Mr. \V. J. 1'. Williamson's collector. 



Iris, lemon yellow; maxilla, blood red with yellowish tip: 

 mandible, orange red : feet, raw sienna.
