consist of small-spots and blotches, which, though slightly inclined to be 
longitudinal in character, in no case resemble the long straggling 
blotches always found in eggs taken outside Siam. - The superior spots 
are brick-red in colour, the secondary ones are lavender and pinkish 
neutral tint, They average in size 17, 0 x 13. 0 mm., almost exactly, 
and are therefore also decidedly smaller than those of our Indian birds. 
f Note. The above description of the eggs represents a very 
general type, but the straggling blotches or writing marks, as if made 
with a very broad pen, are quite common, and I have one example of 
the two types found in the same nest. E. G. HERBERT. |

This also is a bird of which a big series would be interesting to 
examine,

The males are noticeable in that they have either no yellow, 
or very little, on the sides of the neck and on the breast below the 
black. They bear out, therefore, Kloss’ description in this respeet of 
his new sub-species, though I had refrained from describing the form 
as new on these grounds, until it was certain that the alleged dif- 
ferences were constant.

Mr, Herbert’s specimens form a fine series of this beautiful 
Chloropsis in many stages of plumage.
