MISCELLANEOUS NOTES. 123 
In Hume’s Nests and Eggs of Indian Birds, this Barbet is 
described as common in the Thoungyin Valley, and in the Fauna of 
British India as found in Tenasserim only, so the area in which it 
occurs appears to be very restricted. The distinctive mark is the 
verditer blue band across the vertex, instead of black as in CO. asiatica, 
with the forehead and rest of the crown crimson. 
I also obtained specimens of Baza lophotes (F. 1251), the 
Black-crested Baza; Terpsiphone affinis ( F. 599), the Burmese 
Paradise Flycatcher, and saw Peacock-Pheasants, Silver Pheasants 
Francolin, Partridges, Jungle-Fow] and Bustard Quail at various places 
on the route. 
Mr. Gairdner, I am told, obtained specimens of Cissa chinensis 
and Cyanops davisont in 1912 from near the Tenasserim boundary. 
There appears to be a little doubt as to what the note of Cyanops 
davisont is, and it will be interesting to know whether the monotonous 
trisyllabic note, so well known by those who have camped near the 
Tenasserim boundary, belongs to this bird.

No. XII.—OCCURRENCE OF THE KRAIT (BUNGARUS 
CANDIDUS) AND THE SMALL-SPOTTED CORAL SNAKE 
(CALLOPHIS MACULICEPS) IN SIAM. A NEW COLOR 
VARIETY OF THE LATTER. 
I mentioned in the last number of the Journal (p.7), that 
certain species of poisonous snakes, would, on account of their known 
distribution, be no doubt ultimately found in Siam. Two of that list 
have since been shown to exist here. 
Bungarus candidus. I am indebted to Mrs. Collins for this 
snake, caught in one of the bungalows at Sriracha. Male. Total 
length, 850 mm., tail 100. Ventrals 220. Subcaudals 47. Color. 
Twenty broad white bands upon the body and seven upon the tail, 
each one with a fair amount of black mottling occupying the middle 
two-fourths. Tail below mottled with grey. The stomach contained 
an earth snake ( T'yphlops braminus). 
Callophis maculiceps. I have examined no less than 8 speci- 
mens from various parts of Siam, as the appended list will show, so
