Dr. Malcolm Smith, whom my collector was accompanying on this 
oceasion, informs me that the hill is covered with pines at that altitude. 
The specimen is, unfortunately, @ mummy, as the bird was shot on 
the last day of the trip, and, there being no time to skin it, was in- 
jected with formalin. It is an immature individual, with the forehead, 
lores, sides of head, nape-patch and longer feathers of the crest greenish 
yellow instead of bright yellow, but I think there is little doubt of the 
correctness of the identification. W. 69 mm.

Mr. K. G. Gairdner obtained a male at Si-sawad, Western Siam, 
in May 1915, at a height of 900 metres. This was identified by the 
British Museum, and is worth recording as the only others so far re- 
ported were procured by Gyldenstolpe in Northern Siam.
