The precise definition of races of D. paradiseus is render- 
ed difficult by lack of knowledge as to the exact locality in Siam of | 
the typical specimen of Brisson. 
‘Siam ” as a geographical entity is inhabited by forms to which 
at least two subspecific names have been applied, beside the typical one 
viz., D. p. reungoonensis by Gyldenstolpe and JD. p. malayensis by 
Kloss.

The adult females, in addition to their greener backs, appear to 
differ from adults males in being slightly paler yellow beneath, while 
even in the most adult birds there remain faint traces of shaft stripes 
on the lower breast feathers.
